--attach works on commands that write Markdown, so screenshots and videos land in the same command as the issue or PR text, and coding agents built on gh can attach media too.

No browser round-trip for screenshots — bug reports, PRs, and agent issues carry visual evidence directly from the terminal.

What changed

--attach works on commands that write Markdown: file the bug and the screenshot lands with it in the same command; open a PR with a before/after and reviewers see the change without pulling the branch. Coding agents built on gh get the capability too, so they can show a result instead of describing one.
