The composer GIF button becomes a +, opening a short picker with GIF and
My contact card. Owner decision after seeing the build: one affordance
beside the text entry rather than a button per attachable thing, because
the sendable set stays small when a channel message shares a 160-byte
payload with the Sender: prefix.
Sends the COMPACT format, not the meshcore:// URI:
<{64-hex key}:{type}:{name}>
That shape was observed on the live mesh, twice, from different senders
in #test and #hamradio four weeks apart. It costs about 75 bytes against
117 for the equivalent URI, so on a 160-byte budget the difference is
airtime rather than tidiness. The URI form stays correct for a QR, a DM,
or an out-of-band paste; this is the channel idiom.
Angle brackets are stripped from an emitted name because they are the
delimiters, and a name carrying one would truncate the payload for every
parser reading it. A colon is left alone: the name is the final field,
so a correct parser splits on the first two colons and takes the rest.
Inserts into the composer rather than sending, matching the GIF picker,
so the card can be captioned and reviewed first. It appends, so a
caption already typed is not destroyed.
Parsing a received share is #610 and is not in this change, so an
inbound card still renders as raw text for now.
