Subject: [PATCH] Add image uploads in chat messages (Gitea issue #10)
Images live on the app server's local disk (uploads/), served through an
authenticated, room-membership-gated endpoint since rooms can be private.
Uploads are streamed with a byte-count cap, validated as genuine decodable
images with Pillow (not just a spoofed Content-Type), and downscaled to
2000px on the longer side (except GIF, to preserve animation).
Backend: MessageImage model + nullable Message.content/image_id with a
content-or-image CheckConstraint, upload/serve endpoints in rooms.py, WS
message envelope gains image_id, push notification body says "sent an
image" for image-only messages.
Frontend: Composer gets an attach button with upload progress and a
thumbnail chip; MessageList renders images inline with a click-to-zoom
ImageLightbox.

+A message can carry an image (`Message.image_id`, nullable), a caption
+(`Message.content`, nullable), or both — a `CheckConstraint` requires at
+least one. Images live on the app server's local disk (`/uploads`,
+resolved the same way `app/main.py` locates `frontend/dist` — see

+- `POST /api/rooms/{room_id}/images` (room-member gated, multipart) —
+ `app/storage.read_capped` rejects (413) as soon as the streamed byte count
+ passes 8 MB, before buffering the whole body. `app/storage.process_image`
+ then opens the result with Pillow to confirm it's a genuinely decodable
+ image (not just a spoofed `Content-Type` header — 400 if not) and
+ downscales it so its longer side is ≤2000px, except GIF, left untouched so
+ animation isn't collapsed to a single frame. Returns the new
+ `message_images` row's id; the frontend attaches it to a message
+ afterward, it isn't a message by itself.
+- `GET /api/rooms/{room_id}/images/{image_id}` (room-member gated) — 404s if
+ the image doesn't belong to that room, otherwise streams it with
+ `Cache-Control: private, max-age=31536000, immutable` (content-addressed
+ by a generated UUID filename, so once served it never changes).
+- The WS `"message"` handler (`app/ws/chat.py`) accepts an optional
+ `image_id`, validated against the room before attaching. Push notification
+ bodies (`app/services/message_events.py`) say "`{username} sent an image`"
+ for an image-only message instead of a body that's just `"username: "`.
+
+Known gap: an uploaded-but-never-sent image (a user attaches a file, then
+navigates away before hitting Send) leaks an orphaned file on disk — no
+cleanup job for this yet. Not a security issue, since serving still goes
+through the same room-membership gate as everything else; just an eventual
+disk-space housekeeping item.
