Cause (Documented platform behavior): Security guard (advisory GHSA-f4xh-w4cj-qxq8 referenced in source) stops the SDK from reading arbitrary files from paths supplied in data.

Proposed fix: [LangSmith SDK] Attachments from file paths rejected: "Attachments must be inline bytes or a (content_type, bytes) pair. To load an attachment from a filesystem path, set dangerously_all
Recommended action: Read files yourself and pass (content_type, bytes), or set dangerously_allow_filesystem=True when the paths are trusted.
Option: Pass bytes [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Attachments
Steps:
1. attachments={"img": ("image/png", Path("a.png").read_bytes())}
Expected: Upload works
