It seems like a good approach. However, when actually implemented, a problem occurs where the token part becomes NaN when encoding the file.

I think there is a part that processes images as tokens, but there is none for files, so I suggest adding exception handling for this.

// OpenAIClient.js
async buildMessage() {
  ...
  // after 530 line
  // There is a token calculation logic for images, but there is no calculation logic for non-images, so exclude it.
  if (!file.type.startsWith('image')) {
    continue;
  }
  ...
}

Thanks :)
