RawMessage content (base64-encoded images) was being written verbatim to chat.json during disk serialization. This caused two problems: 1. chat.json bloated to MBs after any image-containing conversation 2. Reloaded chats would re-send the full image blob to the LLM on every subsequent call, inflating token usage and context size. Fix: detect RawMessage content in Message.to_dict() and replace it with the preview text (if present) or a placeholder string before persisting. Binary blobs are ephemeral — they are only valid for the current LLM session and should never be stored on disk. Co-authored-by: BMad Master <bmad@agent-zero>
