I cannot process this image. The file at `/var/folders/pg/7n554qd5053bxxzfr_x1ppl40000gn/T/pwd_transcribe_1nkvyrtl/original/63895a5ec1385c7598ac0246238119a2494ba011.jpg` is 2111×3238px (exceeds the 2000×2000px read limit) and its pixels cannot be decoded — the file may use a JPEG encoding variant that Claude Code cannot handle internally. I also lack bash permissions in this session to run an external resize (sips/convert/python3 all require approval).
To resolve: re-save the image as a standard JPEG or PNG at ≤1800px on the longest side before passing it to the transcription pipeline.
