ksmithandClaude Sonnet 5 5ec79e652f Play video attachments inline, with an expand option (#65)
A video file previously rendered as a generic downloadable file card,
same as any other attachment. The file-serve endpoint forces
Content-Disposition: attachment for every upload as an XSS mitigation
(a same-origin-served .html/.svg executing script), which also meant a
<video> tag pointed at it couldn't play -- the browser would just try
to download it.

Carve out a strict, server-side allowlist (video/mp4, video/webm,
video/ogg -- deliberately not "every video/* type") that skips the
forced download, the same reasoning MessageImage's own endpoint
already relies on: these are content types a browser only ever
interprets as media, never as something that could execute script.
Anything else, including other video formats like .mov, still forces
a download exactly as before.

On the frontend, a video attachment with one of those content types
renders as an inline <video controls> instead of the generic file
card, with a hover-revealed expand button that calls the browser's
native Fullscreen API on the video element directly rather than
building a second lightbox component.
