## Summary - Dragging a binary file (docx, xlsx, pdf, etc.) into the agent panel's message editor inserted a mention link, then asynchronously tried to load its content as a text buffer. That failed with "Binary files are not supported", which surfaced an error toast **and** deleted the mention text that had already been inserted. - `confirm_mention_for_file` now catches that specific failure and falls back to `Mention::Link` (a path-only reference, same as directory mentions already use), instead of failing the whole mention and reverting the edit. ## Test plan - [ ] Drag a `.docx` or `.xlsx` file into the agent panel chat input — the file path mention should stay inserted with no error toast. - [ ] Drag a regular text file in — content mention still works as before (unaffected code path). Release Notes: - Fixed dragging a binary file (docx, xlsx, pdf, etc.) into the agent panel deleting the inserted reference and showing a "Binary files are not supported" error --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Cole Miller <cole@zed.dev>
