PDF in chat now opens the PDF editor

A

What was broken

A PDF dropped into chat and sent never opened when the artifact store refused the save. That happens when you're signed out, or on Desktop without a live account session. The error was swallowed, so nothing opened and nothing said why. Upload → PDF failed the same way, and PDFs had no tile in Make something new.

B

What changed

Where Now
Chat: drop or attach a PDF, then send Opens beside the chat in the PDF editor. Saved to Artifacts when it can be; otherwise "Not saved yet"
Unsaved PDF Editable: Sign, Text, Draw, Download all work
Artifacts → Make something new New PDF tile: pick a file and it opens in the editor
Rail Artifacts + menu Same PDF item
Failed send Only your typed text comes back
C

Checked

  • New regression test fails on main and passes on the fix
  • Full suite: 9,199 passed, 0 failed; typecheck clean
  • Live in Chrome, signed out: drop → send → editor → Sign dialog; PDF tile → file picker → editor
