This val is a remix of @stevekrouse/fileInputUploadExample, which demonstrated the basic pattern for file uploads with Hono and Val Town.

The original example showed how to set enctype="multipart/form-data" on forms. This remix extends that foundationc with:

• Persistent blob storage instead of just echoing the file back
• Permanent URL generation for uploaded images

3. Upload images and copy the generated URLs
