 - Add a reproducible Dev Container for web, package, CLI, and non-browser test development.
 - Add local crash recovery for unsaved and pathless documents, including MCP-created documents. (#487)
 - Add isolated visual inspection that sends bounded selection renders to the configured Vision model and returns text findings without retaining image data in Design chat history. (#232, #471)
+- Add image attachments to AI chat with bounded analysis, immediate transcript thumbnails, hover previews, and click-to-view images. (#232)
 - Allow supported AI model profiles to set a provider-specific reasoning effort. (#454)
 - Show unavailable or substituted document fonts with affected-layer selection and retry actions, and expose font fidelity through the Figma API and MCP tooling. (#503)
