fixing drag/drop photos bug in codex

state of the world before:

sometimes, when you drag screenshots into codex, the image does not properly render into context. instead, the file name is shown in quotation marks.

before.2.mov

the screenshot is not actually included in agent context. the agent needs to manually call the view_image tool to see the screenshot. this can be unreliable especially if the image is part of a longer prompt and is dependent on the agent going out of its way to view the image.

state of the world after:

after.mov

now, images will always be directly embedded into chat context

Technical Details

  • MacOS sends screenshot paths with a narrow no‑break space right before the “AM/PM” suffix, which used to trigger our non‑ASCII fallback in the paste burst detector.
  • That fallback flushed the partially buffered paste immediately, so the path arrived in two separate handle_paste calls (quoted prefix + PM.png'). The split string could not be normalized to a real path, so we showed the quoted filename instead of embedding the image.
  • We now append non‑ASCII characters into the burst buffer when a burst is already active. Finder’s payload stays intact, the path normalizes, and the image attaches automatically.
  • When no burst is active (e.g. during IME typing), non‑ASCII characters still bypass the buffer so text entry remains responsive.

P1 Badge Avoid logging full paste contents at info level

The new tracing::info!("handle_paste: {pasted}") call writes every pasted string—including arbitrary user messages, file contents, and potentially secrets—to the standard info log. Unlike the existing debug tooling, this is always executed and prints the entire payload, so a normal production build will emit user data to logs. Besides privacy concerns, large pastes will also generate very large log entries. Consider removing this log or gating/truncating it behind a debug flag.

@genki i wonder if you'd mind taking a quick look at this one when you have a chance. No problem if you can't. I suspect IME will continue to work fine on this and I'll test to the best of my ability, but you likely know the edge cases better than I do on IME, and would notice problems straight away.
