   Fixed crash when pasting images from clipboard on Windows 11.

   Error: TypeError: The URL must be of scheme file (ERR_INVALID_URL_SCHEME)

   Root Cause

   In prompt.ts, the switch statement at line 946 handles URL protocols:

   • case "data:" only processes text/plain mime types, then breaks
   • For clipboard images (image/png), the condition fails and falls through to case "file:"
   • fileURLToPath() is called on a data: URL → crash
