Two major features in this commit:
1. Streaming Markdown Rendering Optimization
- Replace deprecated flutter_markdown with gpt_markdown (active, AI-optimized)
- Real-time markdown rendering during streaming (was showing raw syntax)
- Solid block cursor (█) instead of AnimationController blink
- 80ms token throttle buffer reducing rebuilds from per-token to ~12.5/sec
- RepaintBoundary isolation for markdown widget repaints
- StreamTextWidget simplified from StatefulWidget to StatelessWidget
2. Multimodal Image Input (camera + gallery + display)
- Flutter: image_picker for gallery/camera, base64 encoding, attachment
preview strip with delete, thumbnails in sent messages
- Data layer: List<String>? → List<Map<String, dynamic>>? for structured
attachment payloads through datasource/repository/usecase
- ChatAttachment model with base64Data, mediaType, fileName
- ChatMessage entity + ChatMessageModel both support attachments field
- Backend DTO, Entity (JSONB), Controller, ConversationContextService
all extended to receive, store, and reconstruct Anthropic image
content blocks in loadContext()
- Claude API engine skips duplicate user message when history already
ends with multimodal content blocks
- NestJS body parser limit raised to 10MB for base64 image payloads
- Android CAMERA permission added to manifest
- Image.memory uses cacheWidth/cacheHeight for memory efficiency
- Max 5 images per message enforced in UI
Data flow:
ImagePicker → base64Encode → ChatAttachment → POST body →
DB (JSONB) → loadContext → Anthropic image content blocks → Claude API
