Problem

A pasted image can remain previewable after its pending server upload has disappeared. Sending then fails with Attachment 'image.png' cannot be sent: attachment not found (removed or expired). When several pasted images share that filename, the error gives no way to identify the affected one.

Change

Carry the failed attachment's existing upload ID through the optional dispatch/launch error fields and map it back to the matching composer attachment. Keep the full draft, reveal the failed attachment without stealing editor focus, and mark its inline reference or thumbnail.

Expanded thumbnails get a thin red outline, a soft red halo that pulses twice and settles within three seconds, and the existing retry control. A light tint preserves image recognition. Reduced motion disables the outer pulse and uses a finite hold/fade; scrolling attachment rows have room for the halo.

Scope and approval

Submitted as a focused fix for an obvious send-error identification defect, under the small focused bug-fix exception in CONTRIBUTING.md. No prior maintainer approval is claimed. The contract and server changes only add optional attachment identity to the existing error; the presentation is shared by web and desktop. Mobile presentation and provider adapters are unchanged.

Expired-upload recovery is isolated in #32910, so this PR can demonstrate the failure state independently.

Verification

  • apps/web: vp test run src/lib/attachmentUploadQueue.test.ts --project unit: 14 tests pass, including identifying only the failed upload among same-named images.
  • apps/server: vp test run src/orchestration-v2/AttachmentClaims.test.ts: 7 tests pass, including attachment claim failures.
  • packages/contracts: vp test run src/orchestrationV2.test.ts: 13 tests pass, including retaining the optional attachment ID across both error codecs.
  • Formatting and lint pass for the 14 changed source/test files; web, server, and contracts typechecks pass.
  • Real integrated-browser Send attempts with five image.png previews and one removed pending upload: clean main shows only the error; this branch retains all five and marks exactly the failed attachment. Both recordings are actual Send → server error flows, with no injected error state or styling. The before checkout is the clean feature base, 79f1fadfc60.
  • The repository-wide Knip pre-commit task cannot run in these filtered worktrees because mobile/marketing dependencies (Expo/Astro) are absent; the commit hook was bypassed after the scoped checks above passed. No full-repository checks were run manually.

Before / after

Before — main, error only

highlighting-before.mp4

Main shows the error while all five attachment previews remain unmarked

After — failed attachment reveal and red glow

highlighting-after.mp4

The failed second attachment has a red outline and a brief outward glow

Implemented with GPT-6.1 Terra and GPT-6.1 Sol in the Codex harness.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 46b93d1

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Attachment claim failures now identify the affected composer attachment, and retries can upload the local file again rather than reuse a rejected upload. The change is limited to error reporting and recovery, while existing claim validation and upload permissions remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

Server attachment claim errors now include the affected attachment ID in applicable cases. Web send paths pass these errors to the upload queue, which marks the matching ready attachment as failed.

Changes: Attachment claim feedback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Propagate attachment IDs in claim errors
packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/AttachmentClaims.ts, apps/server/src/ws.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/AttachmentClaims.test.ts
Claim errors and orchestration error contracts include an optional attachment ID. The server forwards available IDs, and the test checks the ID for a size mismatch.
Match claim failures to uploads
apps/web/src/lib/attachmentUploadQueue.ts, apps/web/src/lib/attachmentUploadQueue.test.ts
The upload queue marks a ready upload as failed when its environment and attachment ID match the error. The test checks that same-named images are distinguished by upload ID.
Report send failures to the upload queue
apps/web/src/components/chat/useComposerSend.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/chatViewSend.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/useMultipleModelSend.ts
Single-model send failures and fanout-start failures pass the environment, attachment snapshot, and error to the upload queue helper. Interrupted single-model failures do not use this path.

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge, maria-rcks, t3dotgg

Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review 85db1

Failed composer attachments are now identified by their server-reported ID, so a failed send marks the matching upload even when several share a filename. The change is narrowly scoped, and optional fields keep errors without an ID working as before. No merge-blocking risk remains.

Explanation

The title "fix(web): identify failed composer attachments" follows conventional commit format and names the main change: failed composer attachments are now identified by their upload ID after a send failure. The changeset matches this, since it threads an optional attachmentId through the server and contract error types and marks the matching composer attachment in the web client.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's sections: Problem, Change, Scope, Verification, and a before/after section. It explains the defect (a pending upload disappears and the error does not identify which same-named image failed), the fix (carry the upload ID through the error fields and map it to the matching attachment), and the scope (a focused bug fix with a stated exception under CONTRIBUTING.md). Verification lists focused test runs, typecheck results, and browser before/after recordings, and it states what was not checked. The Scope section says no prior maintainer approval is claimed, so the description does not fully meet the template's guidance to link an issue or a maintainer request.

Takeover update

  • merged current main into the head with a merge commit (d53a38154c), no rebase. one conflict in composerContextPresentation.tsx: main moved the image chip to a useUploadStatusSuffix hook (fix(web): preserve previews during attachment preparation #33949). kept main's hook and re-applied this pr's state="invalid", data-failed-attachment-id, and failure aria-label on the image chip. nothing else changed.
  • blacksmith-check ran vp run check:changed on the merge: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (37 packages), 61 tests in 6 files, and 8 react compiler checks passed.
  • all coderabbit findings were already fixed by the contributor. no open bot findings remain.
  • the browser verification below was done by gpt-6.1-sol at 4ec7eda6e0 before the merge. it was not repeated after the merge.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified as-is at 4ec7eda6e0ce34c7b632e3b9a79ad15e349ac238 on a disposable linux vm, using repository playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome against real dev servers. main and the pr ran separately, with isolated state and one dev server at a time.

  • reproduced on github/main (d1909d68f8a8864d13fcb214c116777a651e6684): uploaded three distinct screenshots, all named image.png, then removed only the second pending file from the dev server's attachment directory. send returned the real missing-upload error but identified none of the three previews.
  • repeated with the same images and prompt on the pr: only the second preview gained the red outline, finite glow, and retry control. all three images and the text remained. sending with enter kept focus in the editor.
  • clicked retry, confirmed the failure marker cleared, and sent the retained draft. real codex gpt-6.1-sol received the screenshots and replied: 'the screenshots show a t3 code conversation displaying "attachment verification ready," once in full view and twice cropped.' the composer cleared after successful send.
  • checked dark theme and reduced motion: the failed inline image chip included 'upload failed' in its visible text and accessible label; the thumbnail glow was disabled.
  • checked a missing real repository README.md upload in an existing thread and the recorded mp4 upload in a new-thread launch. both identified the failed attachment and retained the draft and editor focus. the video tile had a destructive outline.
  • blacksmith-check ran vp run check:changed 79f1fadfc6020b820d541ca4691d2feebb15dd1b: format, lint, knip, graphql, typechecks across 35 affected packages, 45 tests across six files, and eight react compiler checks passed. comparison history was fetched on the remote worker first. no source changes were needed. the pr also reports 33 successful ci checks.

short runtime transcript from the actual web client's websocket responses:

message.dispatch -> OrchestrationV2DispatchCommandError
  message: Attachment 'README.md' cannot be sent: attachment not found (removed or expired).
  attachmentId: pending-289aa816-052d-44d0-a8c1-b050803c568a-md
  client: matching file chip says upload failed; editor retains focus
thread launch -> OrchestrationV2ThreadLaunchError
  message: Attachment 'after-interaction.mp4' cannot be sent: attachment not found (removed or expired).
  attachmentId: pending-6701789e-98f2-4710-b5f7-5a0339f8fe91-mp4
  client: matching video tile outlined; draft retained; editor retains focus

before: main leaves all three previews unmarked after the second upload disappears

after: pr identifies only the second preview and offers retry

recording: enter sends the draft, the server rejects the missing second upload, and its finite highlight settles

successful retry: real codex describes the three screenshots

dark theme with reduced motion: failed second image and inline upload-failed label

new-thread launch: missing video upload marks the tile and inline chip

Not verified

native electron, ios, android, macos, and windows clients were not exercised on this linux vm. remote relay/tunnel connections, multiple-model fanout, forced colors, and offscreen scrolling reveal were not exercised. no successful video-to-provider turn was attempted. the uploaded recording played through and seeking worked in chrome.

Revert the reveal animations, glow, outlines, scroll-into-view, strip

attachment ID to the matching composer upload, which then shows the
existing failed state. Drop the contract round-trip test the schema

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

in the real app the problem is still there, and the rework changed nothing:

No code change this round. The manual run confirms the fix: on base every upload stayed ready and unmarked; on head only the missing middle attachment was marked as failed, in new-thread, existing-thread, same-named report.txt and fanout paths, and Retry plus send completed the turns. The only remaining item is that the inline document chip showed 'upload failed' with no Retry button. This PR doesn't cause it and it isn't a defect in this fix: on origin/main, the inline context chips in composerContextPresentation.tsx have no Retry control for any failed upload (only ComposerAttachmentStrip has Retry buttons), and pressing Send again re-uploads every attachment whose state is failed (useComposerSend.ts, around line 890, calls retryAttachmentUpload for status 'failed'). attachmentUploadBlockReason also deliberately skips failed uploads ('Send retries failed uploads'), so a failed inline chip never disables Send, and resending is its recovery path. Adding a Retry control to inline chips would be a new visible control, not something this fix needs, so I left it out; see outOfScope. I didn't confirm the inline-document resend in the real app; this rests on the code paths above.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.
