Wire on_file into the Mac app: received files save to ~/Downloads; images show an inline preview in the feed, other files show a doc chip with a reveal-in- Finder button. A paperclip in the composer opens a file picker → send_file (mime inferred from extension). FeedItem gains optional image/fileURL. Add `tether-agent send-file <path>` (one-shot share / test helper). Verified live: an agent sent a 36KB PNG over RTC and it rendered inline in the Mac app's feed. Follow-up: iOS file UI (mirror), clipboard-image auto-send, transfer progress.
