PR Summary

Medium Risk
Moderate UI/runtime risk: changes how preview URLs are derived across draft restore, optimistic messages, and display mapping, and introduces inline <video> rendering which could affect performance or MIME handling.

Overview
Fixes Mothership attachment preview restoration by deriving previewUrl from the persisted attachment key via a shared getMothershipAttachmentPreviewUrl helper (used in display-message, use-chat optimistic messages, draft restore, and queued-message restore).

Adds video preview support: video files now get preview URLs and render as a <video preload="metadata"> thumbnail (both in the input attachment grid and in sent message attachments), while non-previewable files continue to fall back to the document pill/icon UI.

Greptile Summary

This PR fixes missing attachment previews on Mothership draft restore and adds video preview support (input chip + sent message) by extracting a shared getMothershipAttachmentPreviewUrl helper and wiring it into draft-restore, queued-message-restore, optimistic user messages, and display-message — eliminating four copies of the old image-only inline pattern. Video rendering uses <video preload="metadata"> with a document-icon fallback layer behind it for environments where the first frame doesn't paint automatically.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — the fix is well-scoped and the only finding is a P2 accessibility nit on the video element in chat-message-attachments.

All findings are P2 (missing aria-label on the <video> in chat-message-attachments). The core bug fix and deduplication are correct, and the new video rendering path mirrors the accepted approach already applied to attached-files-list.

apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/home/components/chat-message-attachments.tsx — video element missing accessible name.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
apps/sim/lib/copilot/chat/attachment-preview.ts	New helper that centralises preview URL generation for both image and video attachments, eliminating previous inline duplications.
apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/home/components/chat-message-attachments.tsx	Adds video thumbnail rendering with icon fallback behind the <video> element; early-exit for missing previewUrl simplifies branching. Missing aria-label on the video element.
apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/home/components/user-input/components/attached-files-list.tsx	Extends the input chip to show video previews with an icon fallback, consistent with the chat-message-attachments pattern.
apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/home/components/user-input/user-input.tsx	Calls getMothershipAttachmentPreviewUrl in both the draft-restore and queued-message-restore paths to fix missing preview on return to draft.
apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/home/hooks/use-chat.ts	Replaces inline image-only preview URL logic with the shared helper, adding video support to optimistic messages.
apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/w/[workflowId]/components/panel/components/copilot/components/user-input/hooks/use-file-attachments.ts	Extends URL.createObjectURL preview to video files alongside images; blob cleanup on remove/clear/unmount already covers video URLs correctly.
apps/sim/lib/copilot/chat/display-message.ts	Deduplicates preview URL generation in toDisplayAttachment using the new shared helper.
