Problem

Desktop feedback requires a file picker to attach images. Why: Let users paste screenshots directly into the message.

Changes

Pasted images use the existing upload checks, compression, and two-image limit. Previews open automatically and let users remove images before sending. Text paste still works. A second image paste during processing shows a retry message. The shared validator accepts supported image signatures without MIME metadata and rejects mismatched formats.

This uses the existing feedback route and can ship independently of ticket routing.

Before paste:
Feedback before paste

After paste:
Feedback after paste

How did you test this code?

The focused automated tests passed. They cover image uploads and paste, removal, mixed text, image limits, invalid formats, and blocked submission during processing. A browser check confirmed image preview and removal in the rendered feedback form. The browser check also covered paste without MIME metadata. Native OS clipboard testing remains a release check.

Docs update

Updated the Desktop feedback guide with image paste behavior.

Retrigger

The behavior appears sound, but the explicit TypeScript return-type requirement must be satisfied before merging.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Feedback attachments now accept images from file selection and clipboard paste. FeedbackModalForm centralizes image validation, duplicate filtering, conversion errors, and the two-image limit. Submission and attachment controls are disabled during processing or submission. The attachment component delegates file handling and opens the image preview. Tests cover upload, paste, removal, limits, pending processing, and unsupported types. Documentation reflects the updated behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b4770

Some clipboard image sources can paste without MIME metadata and will silently fail to attach. Address this compatibility gap before relying on native image paste broadly.

Do not discard clipboard files with an empty MIME type. When clipboardData.files contains an image File whose type is empty, this filter drops it before readFeedbackImage runs. Pass clipboard files to the shared validator, and detect the supported format from the file bytes when type is empty. When type is present, reject files whose detected format does not match it.

Approved.

Contained desktop-only UI feature with strong test coverage, authored and owned by the same team with STRONG author familiarity; the one prior CodeRabbit correctness comment (dropping clipboard files with empty MIME type) is now handled in the current diff via byte-signature detection, and no reviewer or maintainer hold remains open.

  • Author wrote 100% of the modified lines and has 21 merged PRs in these paths (familiarity STRONG).
  • 👍 on the PR from greptile-apps[bot].
  • 5 of the 5 changed files are governed by products/desktop/AGENT_APPROVALS.md.
