Problem

The compose-time preview never appears for an image path that starts with /, which is exactly what pi inserts when you paste a screenshot on Linux/macOS (Ctrl+V → /tmp/pi-clipboard-<uuid>.png).

updateComposePreview() skips any editor text starting with / to leave slash commands to their own UI. Every POSIX absolute path also starts with /, so the real paste case never reaches the preview. The submit-time attachment is unaffected because the input hook has no such guard, which is why images still reach the model and only the preview is missing.

Failure is silent: the terminal-input listener calls updateComposePreview(ctx).catch(() => {}).

Fix

Only treat the text as a slash command when it contains no image path token:

-  if (editorText.trim().startsWith("/")) {
+  if (editorText.trim().startsWith("/") && findImagePathTokens(editorText).length === 0) {

Tests

• T71 (new): editor text that is exactly an absolute image path renders the preview. Verified RED on the unfixed code (AssertionError: absolute path must render the compose preview) and GREEN after the change.
• T72 (new): a real slash command (/vision) without an image path is still skipped, so the guard keeps its original purpose.
• Full suite: 356 passed, 0 failed (tsx --test, all tests/*.test.ts + test/delegator.test.mts).
• tsc --noEmit: clean.

Reproduced in pi 1.3.0 on Linux/Wayland with Ghostty (Kitty graphics). The same patch applied to the installed 0.5.3 makes the absolute path render pi-clipboard-….png | 679x616 | image/png | 163.9KB | kitty above the editor.
