Add local file loading to the homepage link creator - #118
Conversation
The create-a-link flow could only accept pasted text. Users can now choose or drop a local text file, which is read in the browser and compressed into the same fragment link. Co-authored-by: aanishbhirud <aanishbhirud@gmail.com>

A slower file.read could overwrite a newer selection, and OS pickers often label .ts as video. Sequence reads, trust known text extensions over MIME, and reject decoded control/replacement characters. Co-authored-by: aanishbhirud <aanishbhirud@gmail.com>

The create-a-link flow only accepted pasted text, so compressing an existing file meant opening it, copying, and pasting.
This adds a client-side Load file control (and drag-and-drop) on the load-body step. The chosen file is read in the browser, fills the same draft the compressor already uses, and is never sent to the host.
