 Incoming Feishu rich-text `code_block` elements are converted to fenced Markdown with their language and original indentation preserved; `md` elements remain Markdown. The same conversion applies when rich-text messages are quoted or included in merged forwards. Rich-text images are downloaded into the inbound image cache and passed to the App Server as `localImage` inputs. An image-only message uses the default Prompt `请查看这张图片`. An ACP runtime that cannot accept image input returns an explicit error.
 
+Merged-forward image and file references use the container message ID with the resource key extracted from each child. Child message IDs are not download IDs: Feishu can return `234003 File not in msg.` for them even when the same resource downloads successfully through the container. The same extraction handles direct merged forwards and quoted chat records, retaining child order and filenames and deduplicating repeated image/file keys within the container so transcript labels match downloaded attachments. Ordinary quoted images and files continue to use their own message IDs.
+
 Reasoning Preview receives `item/reasoning/summaryTextDelta`, `item/reasoning/textDelta`, and authoritative `item/completed` reasoning arrays. Optional `TurnViewState.reasoningItems` stores complete summary/content sections separately, anchored to existing activity IDs; legacy `reasoning:*:<summaryIndex>` activities remain a summary fallback. Only summary deltas continue through the existing card progress path. Content and completion updates persist without scheduling card refreshes. Preview extracts the first explicit leading Markdown heading or standalone bold title into the disclosure header, removes only that title from the expanded text, and renders all supplied summary/content sections without field labels. Linked/image headings retain their original body markup to preserve navigation and attachments; untitled text remains intact. Heading detection parses only a candidate first line, not the full Markdown. Preview details use `reasoning:<itemId>` keys and revision-aware lazy loading. No database schema migration or remote history backfill is performed.
 
-Standalone rich-text/resource messages and merged forwards wait up to 1.5 seconds after acknowledgement/preparation for an associated attachment. Matching requires the same conversation and sender, an explicit parent-message ID, and a non-command attachment. An attachment reserves the pair on arrival, before awaiting its Reaction, so slow acknowledgement cannot split an already-matched pair. The combined request starts with the attached instruction, followed by the original reference text and resources; card Prompts and newly generated task titles use the instruction. Ordinary text, commands, and existing quoted messages do not enter this extra wait. Messages without an attachment proceed unchanged; later replies follow normal quote/steering behavior. The inbound representation has no separate forward flag: association uses message type, parent ID, and the short arrival window rather than guessing from message text.
+All standalone, non-command Feishu messages, including plain text and URLs, share one pending-reference registry and wait up to 1.5 seconds after acknowledgement/preparation for an associated follow-up. Eligibility and matching do not inspect message type or guess from URL/text content. Matching requires the same conversation and sender, an explicit parent-message ID, and a non-command instruction. Implicit topic-root ancestry is not an explicit quote. An instruction reserves the pair on arrival, before awaiting its Reaction, so slow acknowledgement cannot split an already-matched pair. The combined request starts with the current instruction, followed by the source reference text and resources; card Prompts and newly generated task titles use the instruction. Types affect content extraction only, including expansion of merged forwards. Commands, Console messages, and quotes of older messages without a pending source do not enter this extra wait. Unpaired sources proceed unchanged after expiry; replies after submission follow normal quote/steering behavior without rewriting an existing Turn or replacing its original Prompt. The internal controller wait duration is injectable for deterministic tests; production uses the fixed 1.5-second window.
 
 Archiving (including Dismiss) reads task metadata and activity, not Turn history. On Codex's exact `thread/archive` error `no rollout found for thread id <id>`, empty-task cleanup is allowed only with a local binding and no recorded Turns, attempts (including failures), or inherited history. It rechecks remote metadata (empty preview, no fork parent, idle/notLoaded), local runtime activity, and that the reported rollout path is absent, then requires a successful `thread/unsubscribe` response before closing the local task. Other read/archive/release failures remain errors and leave the group intact; existing rollout files are never deleted or rewritten. If Feishu deletion fails after local archival, retrying the same confirmation retries group deletion only.

 接收飞书富文本时，`code_block` 节点会转换为带语言标记的 Markdown 代码块，并保留原始缩进；`md` 节点会继续保留 Markdown 格式。引用消息或合并转发中的富文本也使用相同转换。富文本图片会下载到输入图片缓存，并以 `localImage` 传给 App Server。纯图片消息使用默认 Prompt `请查看这张图片`。ACP Runtime 不支持图片输入时会明确报错。
