Problem
When a user uploads a file attachment in Slack (e.g. a .md file), Blink is unable to download or read the file contents. Instead, it responds asking the user to paste the content directly into a message.
Example Blink response:
I wasn't able to download the PLAN.md file — Slack returned it as plain text and the API couldn't retrieve the contents. Could you paste the plan content directly into a message so I can get started?
Expected Behavior
Blink should be able to read and process file attachments uploaded to Slack messages, including text-based files like .md, .txt, .json, etc.
Impact
This prevents users from sharing longer-form plans, specs, or other documents with Blink via file upload — a common workflow when the content doesn't fit in a single Slack message.
