Research direction

Start by locating the browser import-file dialog in the TypeScript code and inspect how its file selection options are configured. Update the dialog so it filters to the supported .uf2, .mkcd, .hex, and other import extensions named in the issue, then verify that unsupported file types are no longer shown.
