fix(acp): keep v1 assistant images and standard tool images - #36144
ACP assistant image chunks render as [ACP image (image/png)] text, and standard ToolCallContent image blocks also become placeholders, so both images are lost before the existing image renderer sees them. User uploads and vendor-specific rawOutput images already work.
Reproduction: an ACP v1 agent emits agent_message_chunk text, image, text, image, text under one messageId, after a completed tool call with two { type: "content", content: { type: "image", ... } } blocks. Both reply images should appear in order, and both tool images should appear when the tool row is expanded.
Change
Same change as #30101, which Maria had already merged with main and found needed no other changes:
The ACP parser keeps bounded inline and base64 data-URI raster payloads instead of turning them into placeholders.
For agents whose initialize response reports protocolVersion: 1, the adapter persists assistant images through the existing user-upload storage path, now shared via ProviderHost.persistChatAttachments, and keeps text and image order, including omitted or reused messageId. Standard tool content is unwrapped as a fallback when there is no rawOutput, so the existing tool-image reader serves it.
Web and mobile timelines keep a contiguous image-bearing final reply visible after the turn settles instead of folding its earlier segments into "Worked for". Text-only folds, tools, reasoning, and steer boundaries are unchanged.
What changed in the rebuild:
main now reopens a closed text segment when the same messageId continues after a tool call. Text around an inline image has to start its own segment, otherwise the text after an image is appended to the segment before it and the order is lost. The adapter now clears the closed segment for that messageId around each image. handles inline images under protocol 1 with messageId source-message fails without this.
Mobile folding uses main's new steerSegments for the reply boundary instead of its own index, matching web.
TimelineAssistantRows keeps main's suppressEmptyResponse next to the attachment check, as in Maria's resolution.
Protocol boundary: v1 assistant images are fixed only when initialize reports version 1. V2 assistant handling is unchanged. Standard tool-result images are fixed and tested for both versions. Session history import (session/load) still drops images; it did before this change too.
Scope and approval
A maintainer asked for this replacement on #30101. That PR also documents the scope: the parser, adapter, shared upload persistence, render path, and fold handling are all needed for this one data-loss defect, because splitting the reply around images would otherwise hide earlier text behind the fold. No new wire contracts, settings, or dependencies.
Verification
vp run scenarios:prove in the real app with the dev replay agent (ACP, protocol 1), using a replay recording of the reproduction above. The recording and scenario were only for the proof and are not part of this PR. Verdict: fails on base, passes on head. Base shows the placeholders; head shows both reply images in order and both tool images.
vp test run on the adapter, runtime model, web timeline logic, and mobile thread activity tests: 347 passed.
Known limitation, unchanged from #30101: guest share pages do not show assistant image thumbnails, because their attachment URL map only covers user messages. Assistant images were not available there before either.
The original #30101 code was written with Amp; that thread did not record the model. This rebuild (conflict resolution, the segment fix, and verification) was done by Claude Opus 5.5 in Amp.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This change preserves ACP assistant and tool images using existing attachment handling and keeps image-bearing replies visible in the timeline. The unresolved image/text ordering finding remains subject to the separate correctness gate; no additional material risk requires human judgment.

ACP image content can be validated, persisted, and emitted as chat attachments for protocol v1. Web and mobile timelines render image attachments and retain image-bearing assistant replies when folding. Attachment persistence moves from WebSocket-local code to a shared provider-host operation.

Summary
Attachment persistence contract and wiring packages/provider-core/src/server/ProviderHost.ts, apps/server/src/assets/ChatAttachments.ts, apps/server/src/provider/ProviderHostLive.ts, apps/server/src/ws.ts
The provider host exposes attachment persistence. The shared implementation validates attachment data, writes decoded image bytes, and returns metadata. The live provider host delegates to it, and the WebSocket handler imports it.
ACP image conversion and message emission packages/provider-acp/src/server/runtimeModel.ts, packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts
ACP image blocks are validated and, for protocol v1, persisted and emitted with assistant segments. Tool content wrappers are normalized. Tests cover inline-image handling and ACP message fidelity.
Image-aware folding and attachment display apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/threadActivity.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/threadActivity.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/TimelineAssistantRows.tsx
Web and mobile folding retain the contiguous assistant reply sequence when it contains an image attachment. Without images, folding retains only the terminal assistant message. Assistant rows render image attachments and open available previews.

Merge Risk: Low · up to b3f41
Image-bearing assistant replies can lose their images in Zen mode, while the default timeline shows them. This is a narrow display gap with an easy fix and no data risk, so the change is mergeable with a follow-up.

Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. The Problem section gives a reproduction. The Change section explains the parser, adapter, shared persistence, and fold changes, and notes the protocol boundary. The Scope section links the replaced PR #30101 and gives the maintainer request. The Verification section lists focused tests, a scenario proof with a fail-on-base and pass-on-head verdict, the check run, and items not exercised. It also includes before and after screenshots for the UI change and names the model and harness. The template's leading comment asks for a conventional title in plain language, which the title satisfies.

Keep image-bearing reply segments visible in Zen mode.
The Zen filter in timelineRowEntries runs before folding and removes non-terminal assistant messages. It does not include the new image-retention logic, which runs only in deriveTurnFolds, and Zen mode skips that function. An image in a non-terminal segment of a reply is therefore hidden in Zen mode but shown in the default view. Apply the same contiguous, image-aware reply selection in the Zen predicate, and keep the steer and response boundaries unchanged.

Move attachment persistence behind a domain service method.
persistChatAttachments in apps/server/src/assets/ChatAttachments.ts is a standalone exported Effect.fn. It decodes payloads, writes files, and returns attachment metadata. The repository guidance places this work in a service method in the owning domain folder.
The WebSocket handler at apps/server/src/ws.ts:3009-3010 calls this function directly instead of one service method. This PR adds a second caller. apps/server/src/provider/ProviderHostLive.ts:46-53 supplies ServerConfig, FileSystem, and Path by hand.
The standalone shape predates this PR. It was a module-level constant in ws.ts at the base revision. This PR exports it and adds the second entry point.
Move the implementation into a method on the service that owns attachments. Then have ws.ts and ProviderHostLive both call that service. If no existing service owns attachments, add one in the domain folder. Remove the standalone export.

Retain the image-bearing reply sequence in zen mode.
For a settled reply containing text, an image-only message, and trailing text, this filter removes the image-only message because only the trailing message is terminal. The new retention logic cannot prevent this: deriveMessagesTimelineRows bypasses deriveTurnFolds in zen mode. The reply therefore loses its charts in this supported view.
Apply the image-bearing reply retention rule before the zen filter, and extend the existing timeline test with this case.
