No reliable way to download generated media out of the app

What's missing Generated images, videos and files have no reliable download path. There is no visible Save button on a generated item, and [describe what happens when you try]. Media lives in local storage and Venice keeps no server copy — so anything not manually saved is lost the moment browser storage is cleared. Why this is an architecture gap, not a UI bug Local-only storage is Venice's core promise. But that promise requires a matching exit. If the user can't take files out, "private and local" becomes "private and fragile". The privacy model and the export path have to ship together. Repro 1. Generate an image in chat. 2. Try to save it to the device. -> [what happens] Platform: [iOS app / Android / web + browser name] Requested, in priority order 1. A visible Save / Download button on every generated item. 2. Download all media in a conversation (zip). 3. Export a whole conversation — text + media, single file. 4. Keep it client-side, no server round-trip, so the privacy model is unchanged. Notes - A mailto / .eml workaround exists but is not the fix. - Related: storage fragility (browser clearing wipes chats) makes this urgent.
