Allow copy pasting images

It would be more convenient to be able to copy images into chat 🙂

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, terminals don't natively support image data in clipboard pastes — they only receive text via bracketed paste mode. Implementing this would require brittle OS-specific code (AppleScript on macOS, xclip/wl-paste on Linux, PowerShell on Windows) with no reliable cross-platform npm package available.

However, you can already work with images in pi:

1. Paste file paths — Just paste or type the path to an image file (e.g., /path/to/screenshot.png)
2. Drag & drop — Drag image files from your file manager directly onto the terminal
3. Use @ completion — Type @ and search for image files in your project

The model will use the read tool to load and analyze any image you reference. This works reliably across all platforms without additional dependencies.

For screenshots specifically, macOS saves them to your Desktop by default — you can drag them directly into pi or reference them via path.
