Bug Description

Steps to Reproduce

1. Paste a path to a JPEG image
2. Claude replaces the path with `[Image # 1]`

Expected Behavior

Claude would take the path and include the string in the conversation as relevant context

Actual Behavior

Claude replaced it with [Image #1], and all subsequent responses become:

API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"messages.0.content.1.image.source.base64.data: Image does not match the 
    provided media type image/png"}}

Additional Context

Can confirm same error on Mac OS. You must fully restart the session, current session cannot continue.

this was fixed for some time today and not it is broken again - really inconvenient not to be able to use images

[dicksontsai]

Fixed in v1.0.3. You should now be able to paste in jpg paths as images.
