Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

Why it matters: in AI-native repo structures where every subfolder carries both text context (CLAUDE.md) and visual context (_OVERVIEW.png, _FLOW.html), this closes the asymmetry between human navigation (instant visual parsing) and Claude's context (text-only). Current workarounds, on-demand Read, custom MCP servers, SessionStart hooks, all add friction this feature should remove.

Bug Description Feature request: auto-load multimodal context files (PNG/HTML) from CLAUDE.md folders

Today CLAUDE.md's @-imports only resolve text files. Visual artifacts (architecture PNGs, HTML dashboards) sitting next to a CLAUDE.md are invisible to Claude unless explicitly opened via Read, even though Claude has full vision capability.

Proposal: extend @-imports so @./architecture.png loads as Vision input (not as a text path), or add a settings.json field like autoContextGlobs: ["*.png", "*.html"] that auto-loads matching files from each CLAUDE.md-bearing folder.
