Summary

The wire layer was already multimodal: ChatMessagePrompt field 10 encodes ImageData {base64_data, mime_type, caption}, verified against extension.js. The adapter mapping discarded every image.

textFromParts extracted only type:"text" parts and returned a string, so an image contributed an empty fragment. mapOneMessage then dropped any message whose extracted text was empty:

const text = textFromParts(message.content).trim();
if (!text) return undefined;   // ← image-only message vanishes

A pasted screenshot with no caption therefore killed the turn at 0s — the message vanished before the model saw anything, and the only workaround was running tesseract before sending. toolResultText did the same to tool-result images.

The fix

Content converts at the boundary. A data: URL has everything field 10 needs, so it parses into {mimeType, base64Data}. A remote https URL cannot be inlined without a fetch and stays as an explicit text reference rather than pretending the model can see a picture it cannot. Video has no Devin field and is skipped. An error tool result keeps its ERROR prefix alongside the images.

The dead toolResultText is removed.

Verification

  • Hosted CI on this exact head is the merge proof. Local product tests, typecheck, build and install were NOT RUN in the authoring session, by explicit instruction.
  • New tests/providers/devin-image-passthrough.test.ts: a data-URL image becomes a wire image with mime and base64; an image-only user message is not dropped (the reported failure); a remote https image stays as a text reference; a tool result keeps its image; an error tool result keeps the ERROR prefix alongside images; and the wire encoder produces the ImageData payload on the request frame.
  • Registered in scripts/test-layout/layout.json and tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Maintainer integration under MAINTAINERS.md: dev only, with exact-head CI evidence recorded before merge.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Devin adapter now preserves image content in user, developer, and tool-result messages. Data URLs become wire image parts, remote URLs become text references, and image-only messages remain present. New provider tests verify mapping and wire encoding.

Changes

Devin image passthrough

Layer / File(s) Summary
Content mapping and message routing
src/adapters/devin.ts, devlog/_plan/260913_devin_image_passthrough/000_plan.md
mapOcxContentToWire maps data URLs to {type: "image", mimeType, base64Data}, maps remote URLs to [image url: ...], skips videos, and preserves string content. mapOneMessage retains image-only messages and prepends ERROR: to error tool results. The plan documents the former non-text stripping behavior.
Passthrough tests and test-layout registration
tests/providers/devin-image-passthrough.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
Tests cover user images, image-only messages, remote URLs, tool-result images, error prefixes, and ImageData encoding on field #10. The new test is registered in the providers domain.

P1 Badge Update the owned adapter documentation

This changes the image-handling contract for src/adapters/, but the commit updates none of the structure documents assigned to that source area. Record the new Devin user/tool-result image behavior and its remote-URL limitation in the applicable owned documents so the maintainer source of truth remains synchronized with the runtime.

P2 Badge Do not inline rejected image URLs into prompt text

When an image is remote, or when its data URL is not recognized by this narrower regex—for example, base64 containing a newline, which the shared parseDataUrl parser accepts—this branch inserts the entire imageUrl into prompt text. Responses admission still charges that value as an image rather than as text, so a large URL can pass admission and then inflate Devin's prompt enough to overflow its context or fail upstream. Reuse the shared parser and replace unsupported references with a bounded marker instead of interpolating the raw URL.

Support parameterized data URLs.

src/types/request.ts:191-192 and src/chat/inbound.ts:63 allow parameterized base64 data: URLs to reach src/adapters/devin.ts. The regex at line 231 rejects data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8;base64,..., so line 233 sends it as text instead of a wire image.

Parse the full header and pass only the base media type to ImageData.mime_type. The Devin encoder serializes this field directly. Add a regression test.

Assert tool-result part order

tests/providers/devin-image-passthrough.test.ts:23-35 already asserts order for a mixed user message. However, tests/providers/devin-image-passthrough.test.ts:60-71 uses mixed tool-result content but checks only that an image exists. Add an assertion that the tool result contains the text part followed by the image part. mapOcxContentToWire preserves input order by appending each mapped part during iteration in src/adapters/devin.ts:224-237, and the tool-result branch uses this helper at src/adapters/devin.ts:337-343.

리뷰 · 우선순위 76 / 80

이 PR은 Devin 어댑터가 이미지를 버려서 턴이 0초에 죽던 구멍을 막습니다. 지금 dev의 src/adapters/devin.ts를 보면 textFromParts는 type:"text"만 이어 붙이고, mapOneMessage의 user/developer 분기는 textFromParts(...).trim()이 비면 undefined를 반환합니다. 이미지만 있는 붙여넣기 스크린샷은 메시지 자체가 사라집니다. toolResultText도 같은 방식으로 툴 결과 이미지를 버립니다.

반면 와이어 계층 src/adapters/devin/cloud-direct/chat.ts는 이미 멀티모달입니다. ChatMessagePrompt 필드 10 ImageData에 base64/mime/caption을 넣을 수 있습니다. 즉 "전송 능력은 있는데 매핑이 잘라내는" 상태입니다. PR은 mapOcxContentToWire를 추가해 data: URL을 {type:"image", mimeType, base64Data}로 바꾸고, https URL은 가짜 vision 없이 [image url: ...] 텍스트로 남기며, video는 Devin 필드가 없어 건너뜁니다. 이미지-only user 메시지는 더 이상 드롭하지 않고, toolResult 오류는 ERROR: 접두사를 유지한 채 이미지 파트를 같이 보냅니다.

테스트 tests/providers/devin-image-passthrough.test.ts가 data URL 변환, 이미지-only 보존, https 텍스트 참조, toolResult 이미지, ERROR+이미지, 와이어 필드 10 인코딩까지 확인합니다. scripts/test-layout/layout.json과 tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json에도 등록했습니다. 최근 dev에 #4484(devin-cli→devin)가 이미 들어가 있으니, 이 PR은 그 통합 어댑터 위에서 이미지 경로를 살리는 다음 조각으로 자연스럽습니다.

types/config 분할과 무관하고, 범위도 devin.ts + 테스트 + 짧은 plan 문서라서 좋습니다. 로컬 product suite는 안 돌렸다고 본문에 명시되어 있으니 tip CI가 증거입니다.

라인 - src/adapters/devin.ts mapOcxContentToWire data URL 정규식 - ^data:([^;]+);base64,(.+)$는 charset 파라미터나 공백이 섞인 data URL을 놓칠 수 있다. Codex가 항상 이 형식만 주는지는 한 번 더 확인하면 좋다.
라인 - 같은 함수 https 분기 - fetch 없이 텍스트 참조로 남기는 선택은 안전하다. 다만 사용자 입장에서는 "이미지가 보였다"가 아니라 "URL 문자열만 갔다"이므로, 필요하면 문서/에러 힌트가 있으면 좋다.
경로/심볼 - toolResultText 제거 - 죽은 경로 정리는 맞다. 다른 테스트가 문자열-only tool content를 가정하면 CI가 잡아줄 것이다.
경로/심볼 - caption 필드 - 와이어 ImageData는 caption도 받는데, 이번 매핑은 caption을 채우지 않는다. 지금은 없어도 동작하지만 후속으로 텍스트 파트를 caption에 넣을지 결정 여지가 있다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

너의 추천
merge 강추. tip CI 초록이면 dev에 바로 넣자. 이미지-only 드롭은 재현이 뚜렷하고 수정이 경계에 딱 맞다.
