### Describe the bug
The image attachment mechanism is completely broken and non-functional in the Continue chat UI. Absolutely no images or screenshots can be sent. The UI completely ignores `Ctrl + V` pastes and image icon uploads. 

According to the VS Code Developer Tools Console, the extension's background process is stuck in a critical failure state: it fails to register the `config.yaml` schema because the YAML extension is missing, and subsequently drops the configuration file entirely from its internal AST tracker.

### To Reproduce
1. Install Continue extension on Windows.
2. Configure `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` via OpenRouter.
3. Open the chat sidebar and attempt to paste an image or upload it via the icon.
4. The attachment action is completely ignored by the UI, and no image preview appears.

### Expected behavior
The UI should successfully parse the configuration file, register the schema, and allow multimodal image inputs.

### Environment
- **OS:** Windows 10
- **IDE:** VS Code
- **Continue Extension Version:** 1.2.24 / 2.0.0
- **Provider:** OpenRouter
- **Model used:** `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6`
