# Attachment System Refactor
## Completed
- Created AttachmentIndexService
- Map-based storage using messageId + filename as key
- Built-in size limit (256 entries)
- Expiry handling (1 hour timeout)
- Created AttachmentResponseTransformer
- Simplifies attachment info for AI (filename only)
- Integrated into API layer
- Updated Services
- Gmail attachment handling now uses simplified format
- Calendar attachment handling now uses simplified format
- Added Cleanup System
- Created AttachmentCleanupService
- Cleanup triggers on:
- Index reaching size limit
- Retrieving expired attachments

## Example Transformation
Before:
```json
{
"id": "1952a804b3a15f6a",
"attachments": [{
"id": "ANGjdJ9gKpYkZ5NRp80mRJVCUe9XsAB93LHl22UrPU-9-pBPadGczuK3...",
"name": "document.pdf",
"mimeType": "application/pdf",
"size": 1234
}]
}
```
After:
```json
{
"id": "1952a804b3a15f6a",
"attachments": [{
"name": "document.pdf"
}]
}
