 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.14.1] - 2026-10-14
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A host with `discord` configured and no `agents` (an empty first team) starts again. `defineRoundtable` always added the `seeds` plugin, which had nothing to seed, and the registry refuses a plugin that adds nothing ("plugin seeds adds nothing"); the plugin now joins only when at least one agent is configured.
+
+## [0.14.0] - 2026-10-14
+
+### Added
+
+- `attachmentsOf(message, dir, logger, fetchImpl?, limits?)` (`pi-roundtable/kit`) takes `limits.prepareImages?: boolean` (default `true`). `false` downloads the files only, with no `modelImagesOf`: `images` is empty and an image that cannot be decoded is not reported as a failure, so a host that hands the files to the attachment store does not decode twice or report an image failure twice. Download failures are reported as before.

 ### `context.attachments`: files from outside a turn
 
 A surface that takes a file as it arrives, such as Discord, hands the core a link, and the core downloads it into the conversation's attachment directory.
-The downloads of one message and of the message it replies to share a 60 second deadline, and a file that sends no byte for 10 seconds (the wait for its headers counts) is given up at once, so a stalled download costs 10 seconds, not the whole deadline. A file still to come when the deadline passes, a file that went quiet (`download failed: idle_timeout`), or one whose directory cannot be made, is reported as `download failed` and the turn goes on without it. `attachmentsOf(message, dir, logger, fetch?, { deadlineMs?, idleMs?, signal? })` takes both limits; on the agent server they are `discord.attachmentDownload: { deadlineMs?, idleMs? }` (each 1,000 to 600,000 ms; defaults 60,000 and 10,000), for a host on a slow link or with large files. A failure reason carries a code only (`download failed: ENOTDIR`, `download failed: TimeoutError`, `download failed: error`), never the error's text, which could quote a path of the host.

+`prepareImages: false` (default `true`) downloads the files only: `images` is empty and an image that cannot be decoded is not reported, for a host that hands the files to the attachment store, which prepares the images itself, so they are not decoded twice and a failure is not reported twice.
 A plugin whose clients upload a file themselves, over HTTP for instance, has the file before any turn exists.
 `context.attachments` keeps such a file for the conversation until a turn uses it:
