## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Formatted file references now clearly indicate when a file is in
storage by appending “in storage” where applicable.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Standardized the return of formatted file paths: in non-input/output
contexts, formatting now consistently returns the annotated string
representation, ensuring predictable display and messaging across the
app.
