Image and Error Handling Conflict Preventing Request Progression

[kdkd]

Bug Description If it decides to attach an image, but also creates an error on the same request, you get stuck in a situation where you can't proceed or even /compact

⏺ Call(Check output images and encoder CLI options)… ⎿  Read(../test_output/checkerboard_original.png)… ⎿  Read(../test_output/checkerboard_config4_decoded.png)… ⎿  Bash(/Users/toasty/Projects/curve4-claude/build/src/tools/encoder_cli --help)… ⎿  Error: (eval):1: no such file or directory: /Users/toasty/Projects/curve4-claude/build/src/tools/encoder_cli ⎿ API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"messages.20.content.0.tool_result: content cannot contain image blocks if is_error is true"}}

That didn't seem to work ⎿ API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"messages.20.content.0.tool_result: content cannot contain image blocks if is_error is true"}}

Can you retry with the correct path? ⎿ API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"messages.20.content.0.tool_result: content cannot contain image blocks if is_error is true"}}

/compact ⎿ Error: Error during compaction: Error: API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"messages.20.content.0.tool_result: content cannot contain image blocks if is_error is true"}}

I've been seeing the same issue since a day or two only. Same pattern: ask to check an image > API Error: 400 with the same message as shown above.

[ethan-nola]

Just started for me today. Trying to attach a 500k image throws the error. Once this happens the entire thread is broken preventing any followup messages as the image has been added to context. Each new message (even without an explicit attachment) throws the same error.
