iOS can now send a document from Files. This build treated file as a kind from a newer peer — legible, because a file envelope always carries a caption naming the document, but only as text.

The engine now knows the kind, parses the additive fn/cls/cmp keys, and can assemble them, so sending works in both directions.

The interop test parses an envelope produced by the iOS build rather than by this engine, and pins the two rules that keep older peers working: a file envelope is never captionless, and a photo envelope still carries none of the new keys.

No "Save to Files" on this side yet — this build has no Files of its own, so the button would be one that cannot work.
