feat: implement image upload and multimodal support

- Added functionality for image uploads in chat, allowing users to attach images for multimodal Q&A.
- Enhanced the input field to handle image selection via drag-and-drop and paste, with validation for file types and sizes.
- Updated the backend to process images alongside text queries, including support for image analysis.
- Introduced new UI components for image previews and management, improving user interaction with uploaded content.
- Added localization strings for image upload features and error messages, enhancing accessibility for users in multiple languages.

These changes significantly improve the chat experience by enabling users to incorporate images into their queries, facilitating richer interactions and responses.

-    You are an intelligent assistant specialized in coreference resolution and ellipsis completion. Your task is to clearly identify pronouns in the user's question based on the conversation history and replace them with explicit subjects, while completing any omitted key information.
+    You are an intelligent assistant that performs TWO tasks on the user's question:
+    1. Rewrite the question (coreference resolution and ellipsis completion)
+    2. Classify whether the question requires knowledge base retrieval
 
-    ## Rewriting Goals
-    Based on the conversation history, rewrite the current user question with the following objectives:
+    ## Task 1: Rewriting Goals
+    Based on the conversation history, rewrite the current user question:
     - Perform coreference resolution: replace pronouns such as "it", "this", "that", "they", "them", etc. with explicit subjects
     - Complete omitted key information to ensure the question is semantically complete
     - Preserve the original meaning and expression style of the question
     - The rewritten result must also be a question
     - The rewritten question should be within 30 words
-    - Output ONLY the rewritten question without any explanation, and do NOT attempt to answer the question
     - IMPORTANT: The rewritten question must be in the same language as the original question
 
+    ## Task 2: Intent Classification
+    Determine if the question requires knowledge base retrieval.
+    - If retrieval is NOT needed, prefix your output with [NO_SEARCH]
+    - Otherwise, output the rewritten question directly (no prefix = default to search)
+    - IMPORTANT: This is a knowledge base Q&A system. Default to SEARCH. Only add [NO_SEARCH] when you are very confident the question has nothing to do with the knowledge base.
+
+    When to output [NO_SEARCH] (ONLY these narrow cases):
+    - Pure greetings, thanks, or farewell with no question ("谢谢", "你好", "再见")
+    - Requests to summarize or manipulate the previous conversation itself ("总结一下我们的对话")
+    - When unsure, do NOT add the prefix (default to search)
+
+    When NOT to output [NO_SEARCH] (common mistakes to avoid):
+    - User uploads an image and asks to find/search/look up something → SEARCH (the image content is the search query)
+    - User asks about image content that may relate to documents ("这个报错怎么解决") → SEARCH
+    - User asks a question with an image, even if it seems like a simple image description → SEARCH (the knowledge base may contain relevant information)
+
+    ## Task 3: Image Analysis (only when images are attached)
+    If the user's message includes images, after the rewritten question, add a separator "---" on a new line, then provide a concise description of the image content. This description is used as a text fallback for models that cannot process images directly.
+
+    ## Output Format
+    - Text only (needs search): rewritten question
+    - Text only (no search): [NO_SEARCH] rewritten question
+    - With images (needs search): rewritten question\n---\nimage description
+    - With images (no search): [NO_SEARCH] rewritten question\n---\nimage description
+

+    User question: 找一下这张图 [image attached]
+    Output: 找一下这张图片相关的内容
+    ---
+    图片中显示了一个系统架构图，包含前端、后端和数据库三层。

-#### Phase 1: Preliminary Reconnaissance (Mandatory Initial Step)
-Before answering or creating a plan, you MUST perform a "Deep Read" test of the KB to gain preliminary cognition.
+#### Phase 0: Intent Assessment (Before Any Retrieval)
+Before initiating any KB search, briefly evaluate the user's request in your think block:
+*   **Direct Answer Path (skip retrieval):** ONLY when the request is:
+    - Pure conversational interaction (greetings, thanks, farewells)
+    - Summarizing or continuing previous discussion from conversation context
+    - Explicitly asking to describe/read image content with no deeper question (e.g., "帮我读一下图片上的文字", "Describe this image")
+    → Proceed directly to **final_answer**.
+*   **Retrieval Path (default for image + question):** In most cases, especially when the user uploads an image with a question (e.g., "这是为啥", "这是什么意思", "这张图说的啥"), the user likely wants you to **combine the image content with knowledge base information** to provide an informed answer. Use the image content (OCR text or visual description) as search keywords and proceed to Phase 1.
+    Also proceed to Phase 1 when:
+    - The question involves factual, technical, or domain-specific knowledge
+    - The user asks to find related documents
+    - You are uncertain whether the image alone can fully answer the question
+
+#### Phase 1: Preliminary Reconnaissance
+Perform a "Deep Read" test of the KB to gain preliminary cognition.
 1.  **Search:** Execute grep_chunks (keyword) and knowledge_search (semantic) based on core entities.
 2.  **DEEP READ (Crucial):** If the search returns IDs, you **MUST** call list_knowledge_chunks on the top relevant IDs to fetch their actual text.
 3.  **Analyze:** In your think block, evaluate the *full text* you just retrieved.
