Add Character Limit Validation & UI Feedback to File Description Input
As an Embedded Chat developer
I need to: Add a character limit to the file description input field and visually notify the user when the limit is exceeded.
So That: Users clearly understand when their description is too long, preventing upload errors and improving the overall user experience.
Acceptance Criteria
-
[ ] A maximum character limit (e.g., 5000 characters) is applied to the file description field.
-
[ ] A warning message appears below the description input when the limit is exceeded.
-
[ ] The input field border and text color change to a destructive/error state when over the limit.
-
[ ] The “Send” button becomes disabled when the description exceeds the limit.
-
[ ] File upload submission is blocked in submit() if the description is over the limit.
