Can no longer attach files to messages
What version of the VS Code extension are you using?
0.4.68
What subscription do you have?
Pro
Which IDE are you using?
VSCode
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 25.2.0 arm64 arm
What issue are you seeing?
Formerly, the "+" button in the Codex extension allowed the user to attach files from the working repository to the message. Now, the button says "attach images" and redirects to the user's filesystem, only allowing pngs/jpgs/etc. to be attached to the message. Not really useful for a coding tool.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
Enter a repository VSCode. Open a new Codex chat. Attempt to attach a file from the repository to a message using the "+" button.
What is the expected behavior?
Being able to attach files from the repository, not only images.
Additional information
This feature was very useful, because instead of typing out filepaths and locations of files in the repo, we could just attach them to the message. I work in repos that have a lot of similarly named config files and logs with log names, etc. and the removal of this feature has been quite a headache.
