Research direction
Reproduce the drag-and-drop flow from both the top-right Files section and a direct room, comparing image files with other formats. Start by tracing the frontend upload and drop entry points used by those two paths. Done means supported file formats can be dragged into a room and trigger the same upload dialog behavior described for images.
