Records reasoning start and end times on persisted reasoning
`ChatMessagePart`s so reasoning duration can be computed for stored
chats. Backend-only: no SSE changes and no frontend rendering ship in
this PR.
The `created_at` field on `ChatMessagePart` is extended to also be
present on `reasoning` parts (it previously appeared only on `tool-call`
and `tool-result`), and a new `completed_at` field is added for
`reasoning` parts.
### How timestamps are recorded
- `StreamPartTypeReasoningStart`: stamp `startedAt = dbtime.Now()` on
the active reasoning state.
- `StreamPartTypeReasoningEnd`: stamp `completedAt = dbtime.Now()` and
append both into parallel `[]time.Time` slices on `stepResult`.
- Persistence reads the slices in occurrence order (reasoning has no
provider-side ID) and applies them to the matching `ChatMessagePart` via
`buildAssistantPartsForPersist`. The first reasoning block's stamps go
onto the first reasoning part, and so on.
- `flushActiveState` flushes partial reasoning interrupted before
`StreamPartTypeReasoningEnd` with `startedAt` from the active state and
`completedAt = dbtime.Now()` at the interruption.
### Why two fields, not one?
Tool calls and results are point events. The frontend computes their
duration by subtracting the call's `created_at` from the result's
`created_at`. Reasoning is one assistant part that brackets a span, so
we record both endpoints on the part itself.
### Why not stamp in `PartFromContent`?
Same rationale as #24101: `PartFromContent` is called during both SSE
publishing and persistence. Stamping there would yield incorrect
persistence-time timestamps for reasoning blocks that finished much
earlier in the step. Instead we capture in the chatloop and apply during
persistence.
<details><summary>Implementation plan</summary>
- `codersdk/chats.go`: extend `CreatedAt`'s `variants` to include
`reasoning?`; add `CompletedAt *time.Time` with `variants:"reasoning?"`.
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatloop/chatloop.go`: extend `reasoningState` with
`startedAt`; extend `stepResult` and `PersistedStep` with parallel
`[]time.Time` reasoning slices; stamp on
`ReasoningStart`/`ReasoningEnd`; thread the slices through all
`PersistStep` call sites including the interrupt-safe path; record
partial reasoning in `flushActiveState`.
- `coderd/x/chatd/attachments.go`: walk reasoning parts in occurrence
order and apply `step.ReasoningStartedAt[i]` to `part.CreatedAt` and
`step.ReasoningCompletedAt[i]` to `part.CompletedAt`.
### Tests
- `codersdk/chats_test.go` round-trips `created_at` + `completed_at` on
reasoning parts and verifies omission when absent and partial
interrupted parts.
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatprompt/chatprompt_test.go` asserts
`PartFromContent(ReasoningContent{})` does NOT stamp timestamps.
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatloop/chatloop_test.go`
`TestRun_ReasoningTimestamps` drives a stream with two reasoning blocks
and verifies parallel slices, monotonicity, ordering, non-zero values,
and content-block ordering.
`TestRun_InterruptedReasoningFlushesTimestamps` cancels mid-reasoning
and verifies `flushActiveState` records a non-zero pair.
- `coderd/x/chatd/attachments_test.go` covers
`buildAssistantPartsForPersist` for normal interleaved reasoning,
partial (zero `completed_at`), and missing slices.

Renders the durable file attachments introduced in #24280 in the chat
interface. Without this, attachments were stored and served correctly
but the UI showed raw file parts with no previews or download UX.
Every attachment gets a download affordance, split into three rendering
tiers:
- **Images** — thumbnail with a hover/focus overlay containing a
download link. `onFocusCapture`/`onBlurCapture` with
`contains(relatedTarget)` keeps the overlay open while tabbing between
the image and its download link.
- **Text-like files** (`text/*`, `application/json`) — expandable
preview button with loading + error-with-retry states and the same
download overlay. Preview fetches throw a typed
`FetchTextAttachmentError` with a `.status` field instead of a
stringly-typed error.
- **Everything else** — compact `FileCard` with extension badge,
filename, and download link.
User-side and assistant-side rendering now share `AttachmentBlocks.tsx`
(`AttachmentPreviewFrame`, `TextAttachmentButton`,
`ImageAttachmentButton`, `FileCard`, plus
`getAttachmentHref`/`getAttachmentName`) instead of two near-duplicate
implementations. The text-attachment overlay anchors to the preview
surface so the download button stays pinned even when a loading/error
status line widens the row below.
`ComputerRenderer` detects when a screenshot was stored as a durable
attachment (`attachment_file_id`) and suppresses the stale base64
rendering — the screenshot appears as a proper file part instead.
`ToolLabel` shows the attached filename for `attach_file` tool calls.
Storybook coverage in `ConversationTimeline.stories.tsx` was expanded to
cover every tier (single/multiple images, inline + file-id text, JSON,
download-only files, fetch-failure retry, mixed attachments + file
references) with play-function assertions.

## Cleanup
Per Mathias' post-merge suggestion on #24280, this PR also relocates
`coderd/chatfiles` → `coderd/x/chatfiles` so the durable-attachment
helpers live beside the rest of the `chatd` experimental surface.
Closes CODAGT-91
Agents can already see workspace files and take screenshots, but users could not download those artifacts from chat. This PR adds durable chat attachments to chatd. `attach_file`, explicit `computer` screenshot actions (not the automatic post-action screenshots), and `propose_plan` now fetch bytes over the agent connection, store them in `chat_files`, link them to the chat, and carry attachment metadata in tool responses so `buildAssistantPartsForPersist` can materialize ordinary `type:"file"` assistant parts that the chat file APIs serve.
The same storage helpers are reused for other artifact-producing paths. `wait_agent` recordings and thumbnails are stored as chat files and linked back to the parent chat, with best-effort relinking so parent chats retain those artifacts without leaving orphaned rows when chat-file caps reject links. `storeChatAttachment` wraps insert + link in one transaction, files are capped at 10 MB each and 20 per chat, and serving defaults to `Content-Disposition: attachment` with an explicit inline-safe allowlist.
This PR also consolidates chat-file media policy in `coderd/chatfiles`. Uploads and tool-generated attachments share byte-based MIME detection, SVG blocking, inline-safety rules, and compatible `text/plain` refinement for JSON, CSV, and Markdown. Prompt construction still only inlines synthetic pasted text for model consumption; assistant-created attachments are persisted for the user and intentionally not replayed into later LLM turns.
UI follow-up lives in #24281.
