Research direction

Start by reading the linked WordPress media API documentation and the reproduction gist, then inspect the package's WPCOM interface for its existing upload path. Confirm the expected image-upload request and make the package's browser-based interface handle it successfully; the issue provides no named files or tests, so completion should be validated with a working image upload.

Description

I've been working on this Node.js package to provide easy browser-based JavaScript interfaces to the common WPCOM functions for working with WordPress websites.

Most of it has been going pretty smoothly, but I've been having trouble with uploading image files.

I created this gist, to show one of my attempts, I've tried lots of approaches, based on docs I've been able to find, and working with ChatGPT and Meta.ai, both of which took some pretty wild guesses which indicates to me that it doesn't have a lot of good sources for this.

Any help much appreciated!
