What this state means

Supported, with the qualification kept attached.

Chat supports attaching user files such as images and PDFs via drag-and-drop or upload. Not the same as opening a local workspace file already in the repo.

Capability definition

Accepts user files as first-class conversational or project context.

Scope boundary

Repository workspace access is not automatically classified as a general-purpose file-upload feature.

Researcher note

Path A: docs.github.com upload-from-computer + github.blog attach images and PDFs on all plans. Boundary: chat attachment, not mere workspace read.
