feat(chat): send and show photos from a + menu over the keyboard - #962

Conversation
Photos are staged as composer chips, uploaded through the downscale and quality ladder, and sent one message each with retry. The transcript draws photo bubbles, quotes and previews describe them, and tapping one opens a full-screen viewer. An inline camera captures straight into the composer. Only the downsampled copy is cached, not the original.
The attach menu grows out of +, and the menu, camera card and photo card are one surface that morphs between states. The surface draws over the live keyboard by joining the keyboard's window, falling back to an input view swap and then to dismissing the keyboard. The camera and picker start while the menu is up, so a card has content when it opens. A tap anywhere outside the open menu only closes it. Staged photos sit inside the message field and fade at its edges. The keyboard overlay decisions are recorded in .claude/plans/2026-10-02-attach-photo-card.md.

Second of four stacked PRs for chat photos, on top of #961. Sends and draws photo messages, with the + menu, camera and photo cards drawn over the keyboard.
Camera and library share the staging code, card and chip, so they ship together.
Design notes:
