Closes UI-61.

Stacked on #105 (UI-49), which moved submitting into store.submit(). Retarget to main once #105 merges.

Why

A message sent with an image should reach the model as a readable data: URL. The composer released each attachment, which by default revokes its blob: URL, before calling onSubmit. The playground's onSubmit then failed to fetch those URLs in prepareAttachmentsForSend and sent the dead blob: URL instead.

Reproduction

Playwright sent a PNG from /playground and captured the /api/chat request body:

File part URL
Before blob:http://localhost:3160/f81edb9b-…
After data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgo…

Fix

  • The attachment reducer has a hand-off action that empties the strip without calling destroy.
  • submit() hands the items off, calls onSubmit, and releases them in a finally once it settles, whether it resolves or throws.
  • It uses the destroy captured at submit time, so a policy change while the send is pending can't release items with a different policy.
  • The destroy doc comment and its docs row now say that sent items are released after onSubmit settles.

Tests

Two new tests in composer-submit.test.tsx, using createComposerStore() and store.submit():

  • onSubmit gets items that stay unreleased until it settles.
  • Items are released exactly once when onSubmit throws.

Both failed before the fix (releasedAtSubmit was [["pixel.png"]] instead of [[]]). The full package suite (617 tests), typecheck, Biome and scripts/audit-docs.mjs pass.

An independent review found nothing blocking. These cases were checked by reading the code, not by tests:

  • A second submit while one is pending.
  • Unmounting during a pending onSubmit.
  • A throwing onSubmit.

None releases an item twice or misses one.

Known limits

  • If a consumer's destroy throws on the first item, the rest are not released. The old reset loop had the same flaw.
  • If onSubmit never settles, its items are never released. That follows from releasing on settle.

Changeset: patch.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Sent attachments now remain available while submission is being handled, so their previews are not released prematurely. Attachments are cleaned up after submission finishes, including when submission fails.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified when sent and removed attachments are cleaned up.

submit() reset the attachment strip before calling onSubmit, which ran
the policy's destroy and revoked each blob: URL. An onSubmit that
inlines the files, such as the playground's prepareAttachmentsForSend,
fetched dead URLs and sent the blob: URL instead of a data: URL.

The strip is now emptied with a hand-off that does not destroy, and the
items are released in a finally once onSubmit settles.

Walkthrough

Composer now removes submitted attachments from its store without releasing them, awaits onSubmit, then destroys them whether the callback resolves or fails. The reducer adds a hand-off action, tests cover successful and failed submissions, and documentation and a patch changeset describe the cleanup timing.

Changes: Composer attachment cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Attachment hand-off
packages/ui/src/composer/attachments-machine.ts
The reducer handles hand-off by clearing attachment state without destroying its items. The existing reset action still destroys items.
Submission lifecycle and cleanup timing
packages/ui/src/composer/store.ts, packages/ui/tests/composer-submit.test.tsx, packages/ui/src/composer/attachments.tsx, content/docs/primitives/composer.mdx, .changeset/composer-release-after-submit.md
Submission hands off attachments, clears the editor, and awaits onSubmit. A finally block destroys each submitted attachment. Tests cover resolved and failed callbacks. The prop descriptions and patch changeset document the cleanup timing.

A throwing value-change handler can leave attachment URLs unreleased. The change is mergeable with this bounded cleanup risk understood.

Start cleanup protection before clearing the editor.

If a consumer’s onValueChange throws during controller.clear(), submit exits before this try block. The hand-off has already removed the attachments from store state, so neither onSubmit nor destroy runs. Move controller.clear() inside the try block so finally releases the handed-off attachments. The registered editor’s clear path invokes value-change callbacks. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
