* 📎 feat: Direct Provider Attachment Support for Multimodal Content

* 📑 feat: Anthropic Direct Provider Upload (#9072)

* feat: implement Anthropic native PDF support with document preservation

- Add comprehensive debug logging throughout PDF processing pipeline
- Refactor attachment processing to separate image and document handling
- Create distinct addImageURLs(), addDocuments(), and processAttachments() methods
- Fix critical bugs in stream handling and parameter passing
- Add streamToBuffer utility for proper stream-to-buffer conversion
- Remove api/agents submodule from repository

* chore: remove out of scope formatting changes

* fix: stop duplication of file in chat on end of response stream

* chore: bring back file search and ocr options

* chore: localize upload to provider string in file menu

* refactor: change createMenuItems args to fit new pattern introduced by anthropic-native-pdf-support

* feat: add cache point for pdfs processed by anthropic endpoint since they are unlikely to change and should benefit from caching

* feat: combine Upload Image into Upload to Provider since they both perform direct upload and change provider upload icon to reflect multimodal upload

* feat: add citations support according to docs

* refactor: remove redundant 'document' check since documents are handled properly by formatMessage in the agents repo now

* refactor: change upload logic so anthropic endpoint isn't exempted from normal upload path using Agents for consistency with the rest of the upload logic

* fix: include width and height in return from uploadLocalFile so images are correctly identified when going through an AgentUpload in addImageURLs

* chore: remove client specific handling since the direct provider stuff is handled by the agent client

* feat: handle documents in AgentClient so no need for change to agents repo

* chore: removed unused changes

* chore: remove auto generated comments from OG commit

* feat: add logic for agents to use direct to provider uploads if supported (currently just anthropic)

* fix: reintroduce role check to fix render error because of undefined value for Content Part

* fix: actually fix render bug by using proper isCreatedByUser check and making sure our mutation of formattedMessage.content is consistent

📁 feat: Send Attachments Directly to Provider (OpenAI) (#9098)

* refactor: change references from direct upload to direct attach to better reflect functionality

since we are just using base64 encoding strategy now rather than Files/File API for sending our attachments directly to the provider, the upload nomenclature no longer makes sense. direct_attach better describes the different methods of sending attachments to providers anyways even if we later introduce direct upload support

* feat: add upload to provider option for openai (and agent) ui

* chore: move anthropic pdf validator over to packages/api

* feat: simple pdf validation according to openai docs

* feat: add provider agnostic validatePdf logic to start handling multiple endpoints

* feat: add handling for openai specific documentPart formatting

* refactor: move require statement to proper place at top of file

* chore: add in openAI endpoint for the rest of the document handling logic

* feat: add direct attach support for azureOpenAI endpoint and agents

* feat: add pdf validation for azureOpenAI endpoint

* refactor: unify all the endpoint checks with isDocumentSupportedEndpoint

* refactor: consolidate Upload to Provider vs Upload image logic for clarity

* refactor: remove anthropic from anthropic_multimodal fileType since we support multiple providers now

🗂️ feat: Send Attachments Directly to Provider (Google) (#9100)

* feat: add validation for google PDFs and add google endpoint as a document supporting endpoint

* feat: add proper pdf formatting for google endpoints (requires PR #14 in agents)

* feat: add multimodal support for google endpoint attachments

* feat: add audio file svg

* fix: refactor attachments logic so multi-attachment messages work properly

* feat: add video file svg

* fix: allows for followup questions of uploaded multimodal attachments

* fix: remove incorrect final message filtering that was breaking Attachment component rendering

fix: manualy rename 'documents' to 'Documents' in git since it wasn't picked up due to case insensitivity in dir name

fix: add logic so filepicker for a google agent has proper filetype filtering

🛫 refactor: Move Encoding Logic to packages/api (#9182)

* refactor: move audio encode over to TS

* refactor: audio encoding now functional in LC again

* refactor: move video encode over to TS

* refactor: move document encode over to TS

* refactor: video encoding now functional in LC again

* refactor: document encoding now functional in LC again

* fix: extend file type options in AttachFileMenu to include 'google_multimodal' and update dependency array to include agent?.provider

* feat: only accept pdfs if responses api is enabled for openai convos

chore: address ESLint comments

chore: add missing audio mimetype

* fix: type safety for message content parts and improve null handling

* chore: reorder AttachFileMenuProps for consistency and clarity

* chore: import order in AttachFileMenu

* fix: improve null handling for text parts in parseTextParts function

* fix: remove no longer used unsupported capability error message for file uploads

* fix: OpenAI Direct File Attachment Format

* fix: update encodeAndFormatDocuments to support  OpenAI responses API and enhance document result types

* refactor: broaden providers supported for documents

* feat: enhance DragDrop context and modal to support document uploads based on provider capabilities

* fix: reorder import statements for consistency in video encoding module
