GitHub mobile app: allow uploading files / images to a remote Copilot CLI session #3923

Description

@dfrysinger

Summary

When attached to a remote Copilot CLI session from the GitHub mobile app, there is no way to upload a file or an image into the session. The phone has a camera and a file picker; the remote session has no UI to invoke either.

Expected

The mobile remote-session input should have an attach/upload affordance (matching the desktop attachment flow) that lets the user:

  • Pick a file from the phone's file picker
  • Take or pick a photo from the camera roll
  • Drop the attachment into the session so the agent receives it the same way a desktop attachment is delivered

Why this matters

Mobile is the natural surface for "here's a screenshot of the error" or "here's the photo of the whiteboard, build me this" workflows. Without upload, the remote session is text-only on the highest-value mobile use cases.
