### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cloud Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)

### Describe the Bug

When the agent produces an artifact (eg APK) that the web client does not support, there is no UX to download this artifact. The only way for obtaining the file (that I found), is by looking at the XHR request and fetching the file from blob storage yourself

### Steps to Reproduce

Ask an agent to create an artifact that does not support preview (eg an APK)

### Expected Behavior

A download link in the UI

### Screenshots / Screen Recordings

### Operating System

MacOS

### Version Information

latest web version as of today (2026-07-27)

### For AI issues: which model did you use?

Opus 5

### Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey @maurus_delta!

We used to have this, but had to remove it due to some security concerns. Bringing it back is something on our to-do list. I’ve shared your feedback with the team!

Im curious how the current implementation is any more secure - I can still inspect the network call and find the s3 URL and download the file manually. All removing the button does is require more effort, right?
