* fix(native-chat): a chat's visuals folder lives as long as the chat A chat's scratch folder was deleted once the chat had gone 30 days unused, so an old chat's inline visuals turned into "Visualization unavailable" while the chat and its history stayed. The common pattern keeps a chat's files for as long as the chat and never deletes them on an "unused for N days" timer. The sweep now removes only folders no chat record maps to, plus leftover .expired folders older builds parked. Everything that existed only to make the age rule safe goes with it: the per-folder save lock and its expiry candidates, the session-lane idle check, the journal last-activity query, and the migration's fresh-window timestamp. The visuals skill no longer tells agents the folder is temporary. * fix(native-chat): an image sent in a local chat lives as long as the chat A local chat's pasted images lived in one paste folder that deleted every file older than 30 days, sent or not, so an old chat's images turned into label chips. Paired-server chats already keep pastes in the host's attachment store, where the send that names a file claims it for its chat and only unclaimed files are ever swept: the common pattern. A local composer paste now goes into this machine's own attachment store (starting the local chat host first), so its send claims it the same way. The old paste folder is no longer written or swept: messages sent before this change may name its files. Restored drafts still read it. An unclaimed upload now waits 30 days instead of one before the sweep takes it. A draft names its image by this path, so the window is how long an unsent draft keeps its image; 30 days is what local drafts had, and it outlasts the host's send-id window so a resent draft still finds its image. A chat folder an older build set aside as unused (<hash>.expired) goes back to its chat instead of being deleted. * fix(native-chat): a terminal-backed chat's pastes are never swept A terminal-backed chat has no journal, so no send claims its pastes and nothing can tell a sent one from an abandoned one. Its pastes therefore stay in the paste folder, which is no longer swept, rather than in the attachment store, whose sweep would take them after 30 days unclaimed. Only a local structured chat's paste (forStructuredChat) goes to the store, where its send claims it. * fix(native-chat): keep the attachment owner's literal kind for structured local chats * fix(native-chat): a screenshot dragged into a chat lives as long as the chat On macOS a screenshot dragged from its thumbnail is copied into $TMPDIR/orca-drops, and that copy was deleted 7 days after the drop, so a sent dropped screenshot turned into a label chip after a week. The common pattern keeps a file sent in a chat as long as the chat. A local structured chat's composer now moves each such copy into this machine's chat attachment store, where the send that names it claims it for the chat. Every other copy (terminal panes, terminal-backed chats, editors, startup prompts) has no owner Orca can tell, so copies are no longer swept at all. The copy budget now bounds one drop instead of every copy still on disk: without a sweep, counting earlier copies would refuse every later drop. * style: wrap the drop-copy call * test: drop an unused import * test(ipc): expect the local chat store option on the clipboard registrar * test(ipc): mock the drop-copy registrar in the core handler test * Store fresh chat drops before publishing their paths * Type the drop preparation fixture with its request contract * Capture immutable drop batches before attachment publication * Set explicit buffers for cross-volume attachment imports * Control the deadline in the drop abandonment test * Return void from the drop test timer cleanup * Use the captured attachment destination for queued drops * Register the paired runtime in the queued drop test
