fix(web): guard empty multiFiles array in getProcessedInputs

[he-yufeng]

Summary

getProcessedInputs throws when a multi-file chat input has an empty array value.

In web/app/components/base/chat/chat/utils.ts the multiFiles branch does:

if ('transfer_method' in inputValue[0])

When the field value is [], inputValue[0] is undefined, so the in operator throws TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'transfer_method' in undefined. An empty array is not null, so the earlier inputValue == null guard does not catch it. This takes down the whole input-processing step before the message is sent whenever a chat app has a multi-file form field that the user leaves empty.

The fix guards the element access:

if (inputValue[0] && 'transfer_method' in inputValue[0])

An empty array now falls through to getProcessedFiles(inputValue), which returns []. Server-file arrays (first element carries transfer_method) and local-file arrays keep their existing behavior.

Screenshots

N/A, logic fix with no UI change.

How I verified

Added a regression case to the existing suite (web/app/components/base/chat/chat/__tests__/utils.spec.ts) that throws on current main and passes with the fix:

it('handles an empty multiFiles array without throwing', () => {
  const inputs = { files1: [] }
  const inputsForm = [{ variable: 'files1', type: InputVarType.multiFiles as string }]
  const result = getProcessedInputs(inputs, inputsForm as InputForm[])
  expect(result.files1).toEqual([])
})

I exercised the multiFiles branch against the suite's getProcessedFiles mock: on current main an empty array throws the TypeError above, and with the guard it returns []. The server-file and local-file cases are unchanged. I could not run the full web vitest suite locally (deps would not install on my machine), so CI is the source of truth for the suite run.
