     - **Done (2025-12-29 09:09)**: WHAT: `packages/app/src/contexts/session-context.tsx:1288-1334` adds web-specific image base64 conversion using fetch + FileReader (including data URI handling) and keeps native `FileSystem.readAsStringAsync` for non-web.

+- [x] **Fix**: Implement multimodal prompt building on server
