Title: No upload progress shown when attaching large files in Conversation; UI appears frozen

Description:
When attaching large files to a conversation, no upload progress indicator is shown. For several seconds (depending on file size), the Conversation page appears unresponsive, leading users to believe the process or application has frozen.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start or open a conversation.
  2. Attach a large file (e.g., 5MB+ PDF, DOCX, PowerPoint, etc.).
  3. Observe the UI immediately after selecting the file.

Actual Result:

  • No upload progress bar or indicator is shown.
  • The Conversation page appears frozen or stuck for several seconds.
  • Users have no feedback that the upload is in progress.

Expected Result:

  • Display an upload progress bar (similar to the one used in Artifacts → Buckets when uploading files).
  • Show percentage completion and file name during upload.
  • Provide clear visual feedback that the file is being uploaded and processed.
  • Once upload completes, transition smoothly to the indexing phase (if applicable) or allow the user to send the message.

Notes (optional):

  • Screenshot shows the upload progress bar from Artifacts menu (15% for "AI Agents (2025).pdf"); reuse this component in Conversations.
  • Improves UX by preventing confusion and reassuring users that the system is working.
  • Applies to all file attachments in Chat, regardless of size, but especially critical for large files.
