Images cannot be pasted into the Assistant on WebKit browsers

laiz

Steps to reproduce:

Using the latest version of Orion or Safari, attempt to paste an image to the Assistant

Nothing happens, an error is printed in the console:

[Error] Unhandled Promise Rejection: NotFoundError: Path does not exist
	(anonymous function) (assistant.bundle.js:96:399)

Attempt to paste an image to the Assistant on Firefox
Everything works as expected

Videos of the issue:
Safari:

Orion:

Firefox:

When I first launched Safari, I still had the old version of the assistant UI open, and I was able to paste an image there. This would suggest that something with the latest redesign is causing the issue.

Expected behavior:
Users should be able to paste images even when using WebKit browsers.

Steps to replicate

Take screenshot of a portion of your screen using Shift + Command + 4. Instructions here.
Navigate to kagi.com/assistant - any assistant is fine
Click on text input box. Enter text if you want to but it's not required.
Paste image from clipboard with Command + V
Image shows up in message - this is what no longer works.

In the previous assistant UI where there was a dog that wagged it tail at you (which I sorely miss!) I was able to paste images into the text input box using this method.

Now I am not able to do that. I am only able to add images via the paperclip icon or by dragging and dropping them into the kagi.com/assistant page.
