I need your approval to edit files. Please allow writes to `pyproject.toml` and `_transcription/transcribe.py`, then I'll make two changes:
1. **`pyproject.toml`** — add `"Pillow>=10.0"` to dependencies
2. **`_transcription/transcribe.py`** — add a `resize_image()` function and call it in `download_all()` so any image >1800px on its longest side is scaled down before being passed to `claude -p`
The root cause is that the Read tool hard-rejects images larger than 2000×2000px. The existing `/files/large` fallback only fires when the *API* rejects an image — it doesn't catch this local tool size limit. Resizing at download time is the right fix: it's transparent, reversible (temp files only), and doesn't change the fallback logic.
Once you grant file-write permission, I'll apply both edits.
