Skip files with application/octet-stream MIME type

Files with unrecognized MIME types (application/octet-stream) are
not supported by any LLM provider and would cause errors that
permanently break the conversation thread. Instead, represent them
as a text message describing the attachment so the LLM is still
aware a file was sent without the thread becoming unusable.
