* **Changes**
- Made `ImageUploadSection` ref-aware with an `addFiles` imperative handle and auto-expansion when images appear, enabling non-UI triggers to reuse its validation/upload flow (frontend/src/components/ui/ImageUploadSection.tsx:36-348).
- Captured clipboard image blobs in the shared textarea component and exposed them via a new `onPasteFiles` hook for upstream consumers (frontend/src/components/ui/file-search-textarea.tsx:111-137).
- Task creation dialog now routes pasted images straight into the uploader through the new ref, keeping the description markdown in sync (frontend/src/components/dialogs/tasks/TaskFormDialog.tsx:102-357).
- Follow-up editor keeps the image panel mounted but hidden, reveals it on paste, and forwards the new prop through its wrapper so task attempts accept clipboard images (frontend/src/components/tasks/TaskFollowUpSection.tsx:89-325; frontend/src/components/tasks/follow-up/FollowUpEditorCard.tsx:13-47).
**Tests**
- `npm run check` (frontend)
- `pnpm run check` (timed out after backend cargo check kicked off; see log)
**Next Steps**
1. Re-run `pnpm run check` or `npm run backend:check` when you can let Cargo finish to confirm backend continues to build.
2. Manually paste a few image formats/sizes into the task form and follow-up editor to confirm UX and markdown output look right.
