## Problem
Canceling the native macOS file chooser leaves the composer's temporary,
detached `<input type="file">` without a `change` event or an explicit
cleanup path. Opening Finder again immediately creates a second detached
input while WebKit may still be unwinding the first picker. The newly
selected files can therefore fail to reach the upload pipeline. Drag and
drop is unaffected because it bypasses this picker lifecycle.
This does **not** add an automatic retry mechanism. “Retry” means the
user's next attachment attempt after canceling or after a prior
selection.
## Fix
- give each composer hook one hidden, body-mounted file input for its
lifetime instead of creating a detached one per click
- reset and reconfigure that input before every open, replace its
handler rather than stacking handlers, and remove it cleanly on unmount
- preserve normal selection, cancel then reopen, selecting the same file
again, and multi-select behavior
- accept canonical `text/html` attachments while continuing to serve and
render them strictly as inert downloads
- keep XHTML, SVG, JavaScript, and executable MIME types blocked
The picker change fixes the ownership/lifecycle bug at its source; it
does not retry failed uploads, add delays, or mask errors.
## Testing
- mandatory pre-push gate: branch-skew, desktop typecheck/tests/check,
Rust tests, and desktop Tauri checks passed on
`ea5a97adf957803935b28d63d32f9f332cf65287`
- `cargo test -p buzz-media --lib` (110 passed)
- `pnpm --dir desktop typecheck`
- focused Biome check for the three picker files
- picker Playwright regression: cancel/no selection then reopen, select
the same file again, and multiple selection (run on the source commit
before integration)
- HTML live-relay response regression added as ignored E2E because it
requires the S3-backed relay harness
## Manual verification
Playwright models cancellation with Chromium's
`FileChooser.setFiles([])`; it cannot exercise the native macOS Finder
panel/WebKit presentation lifecycle. Before merge, manually verify in
the built macOS app:
1. select a PNG normally
2. cancel, then immediately reopen and select a PNG
3. select the same PNG on a subsequent attempt
4. multi-select two PNGs

Fixes#2381.
## What was broken
The message composer's paperclip accepts generic attachments — images,
videos, PDFs, archives, and any other supported file — but its tooltip
and accessible name still read **"Attach image"**. Sighted users might
reasonably believe the control is image-only, and screen-reader users
get an incomplete description of what the button does.
## The fix
Rename the accessible name and tooltip text on the generic composer
paperclip in `MessageComposerToolbar.tsx`:
- `aria-label` — `"Attach image"` → `"Attach file"`
- `<TooltipContent>` — `"Attach image"` → `"Attach file"`
Plus update the 12 affected Desktop e2e selectors across five spec files
to reference the new accessible name:
- `desktop/tests/e2e/file-attachment.spec.ts` (2 selectors)
- `desktop/tests/e2e/spoiler.spec.ts` (2)
- `desktop/tests/e2e/composer-image-draw.spec.ts` (2)
- `desktop/tests/e2e/image-attachment-gallery.spec.ts` (4)
- `desktop/tests/e2e/video-attachment.spec.ts` (2)
## Scope (per the issue)
The feedback screenshot dialog
(`desktop/src/features/settings/ui/SendFeedbackDialog.tsx`) is
**unchanged** — that dialog itself is image-only, so its "Attach image"
wording is accurate. This PR only touches the generic composer control.
## Test plan
- All **105** unit tests in
`desktop/src/features/messages/ui/*.test.mjs` pass locally.
- Verified no remaining `"Attach image"` string outside the
intentionally preserved feedback dialog:
```sh
grep -rn '"Attach image"' desktop/
# → only hits in SendFeedbackDialog.tsx
```
- The six e2e specs are only exercised in CI; the selector updates are
mechanical and verified by grep to reference the new a11y name.
## Blast radius
- **Files touched**: `MessageComposerToolbar.tsx` (two strings); five
e2e spec files (12 selector updates).
- **User-facing behaviour**: one tooltip + one screen-reader name
change; no functional or visual changes otherwise.
- **No API or state change.**
## Out of scope
- The feedback dialog's "Attach image" wording — kept per the issue's
own "Scope" guidance.
- Any i18n plumbing — Buzz Desktop doesn't currently localize these
strings.

## Summary
- send desktop messages immediately while media uploads continue in
background state across channel navigation
- show immediate progress above the composer and keep Jump to latest
above it
- report the real media stages as Preparing, Processing, Converting,
Uploading, and Finishing
- use Buzz's shared spinner during local media work, then switch to the
real percentage when byte transfer begins
- animate phase-label and status-suffix changes without overlap or
layout jumps
- keep cancel, progress fill, message publication, and community-reset
behavior coordinated with the background task
- use raw Tauri IPC for large browser files so renderer-side byte
serialization does not block initial feedback
## Why
Desktop previously blocked sending while attachments uploaded in the
composer. Large videos could also pause the renderer before progress
appeared, and the progress pill said Uploading while native media
processing was still underway. This makes the initial response immediate
and describes the work actually happening.
## Validation
- `cd desktop && pnpm check`
- `cd desktop && pnpm typecheck`
- `cd desktop && pnpm test` (3,931 passed)
- `cd desktop && pnpm exec vite build --mode e2e`
- `cd desktop && pnpm exec playwright test
tests/e2e/file-attachment.spec.ts --project=smoke` (11 passed)
- focused native media tests (80 passed)
- native Clippy with all targets and features
- pre-push native suite (2,107 passed, 14 ignored; 3 diagnostics passed)
Updated phase snapshots are included in the PR comments.
Split from #4512 so the desktop and mobile changes can be reviewed
independently.
