name	scitex-etc-media
description	[WHAT] Media handling for SciTeX — detect file paths in text (render.detect), classify a file by media type (render.classify), and render a file to terminal/chat/markdown (render.show). [WHEN] Scanning tool output for produced figures/data files, deciding how to display a file inline (terminal OSC overlay, AI chat pane, or markdown embed), or mapping a filename extension to a media category. [HOW] `from scitex_etc.media import render` — call `render.detect(text, root_path=...)`, `render.classify(path)`, or `render.show(path, target=...)`.

scitex_etc.media provides the render submodule: detect media file references in text, classify a file by its extension, and format a file for a display target (terminal OSC overlay, AI chat pane, or markdown embed).

from scitex_etc.media import render

render.classify("fig.png")              # {"type": "image", "path": "fig.png", "ext": ".png"}
render.detect(out, root_path="/proj")   # [{"type": "image", "path": "fig.png", "ext": ".png"}]
render.show("fig.png", target="markdown")  # "![fig.png](fig.png)"

Reachable via two install paths: pip install scitex-etc → from scitex_etc.media import render; pip install scitex → from scitex.media import render (umbrella alias).
