Problem
Prompt attachments are fetched asynchronously from the native host. The transcript row is measured before the image arrives, so a late thumbnail insertion can push the prompt and every row below it down after the initial paint.
Change
- Render a fixed 72px checker placeholder while the host reads a sent prompt image.
- Swap in the decoded image with the existing
cv-entercompositor-only motion token. - Keep missing images on the previous empty fallback path.
This reserves the vertical slot before the async response and keeps the reveal calm without changing image sizing or reduced-motion behavior.
Validation
git diff --check- Fleet CI should run the web typecheck, tests, React Doctor, compiler, and gallery checks.

Summary by cubic
Reserves a 72px placeholder while the host reads a sent prompt image so the transcript row no longer shifts when the thumbnail arrives late. If the read fails (after a reconnect or session switch) the slot is cleared so a stale thumbnail never lingers; missing images keep the previous empty fallback.
