Sonar LLM Does Not Answer When File Is Attached

:bug: Describe the Bug

Sonar LLM fails to provide answers or process queries when a file (e.g., image or document) is attached to the question. For example, when I asked a question and attached a file, Sonar only responded with a generic message and did not analyze or use the file content.

:white_check_mark: Expected Behavior

Sonar should interpret, reference, or answer using the contents of the attached file as part of its response.

:cross_mark: Actual Behavior

Sonar completely ignores the attached file and responds as if it was not present, stating it cannot answer based on the given information.

  3. Ask a question referencing the file content.

  4. Observe that Sonar does not analyze or respond based on the attached file.
