ADDED Requirements

Requirement: AI Input Bar Clipboard Image Paste

AIInputBar SHALL accept image files from the system clipboard when the user is interacting with the input bar.

Scenario: Paste image while AI input bar is active

• GIVEN the user has focused the AI input textarea or another control inside AIInputBar
• WHEN the user pastes one or more clipboard image items
• THEN AIInputBar SHALL intercept the paste event
• AND add the pasted image resources to the input content preview
• AND keep them available for the next generation request as reference images

Scenario: Ignore paste outside AI input bar

• GIVEN the user focus is outside AIInputBar
• WHEN the user pastes clipboard image items
• THEN AIInputBar SHALL NOT import those images

Requirement: Unified Local Image Intake Rules

Images entering AIInputBar from file selection or clipboard SHALL follow the same validation and processing rules.

Scenario: Reject unsupported clipboard content

• GIVEN the clipboard contains text or non-image files only
• WHEN the user pastes into AIInputBar
• THEN the existing text paste behavior SHALL remain unchanged
• AND no image preview item SHALL be added

Scenario: Apply existing image constraints

• GIVEN the user adds a local image through upload or paste
• WHEN the image exceeds the configured threshold for compression but is still within the supported size limit
• THEN the image SHALL be compressed before being attached
• AND the processed image SHALL be used for preview and generation

Scenario: Reject oversized image

• GIVEN the user adds a local image through upload or paste
• WHEN the image exceeds the supported maximum file size
• THEN the image SHALL be rejected
• AND the user SHALL receive an error message

Requirement: Asset Library And Workflow Integration

Pasted images SHALL integrate with the existing asset library and workflow submission flow in the same way as uploaded images.

Scenario: Persist pasted image into asset library

• GIVEN the user pastes an image into AIInputBar
• WHEN the image is accepted by validation
• THEN the image SHALL be added to the asset library as a local image asset

Scenario: Reuse pasted image during generation

• GIVEN the user has pasted one or more images into AIInputBar
• WHEN the user submits a generation request
• THEN the resulting workflow context SHALL include those images as reference inputs
• AND downstream generation services SHALL receive them through the existing reference image pipeline
