Adding private file attachments backed by object storage

The app already keeps private media on the django-storages Google Cloud backend with signed query strings. Reading that backend showed that building object URLs contacts the bucket client. The first test run and full-page renders failed until storage settings were overridden and a credentials file was supplied for a later server check.

What worked
The existing private-media and public-static split matched the attachment design. After settings overrides, tests rendered pages without the cloud backend, and the backend source made the signed-query behavior clear.
What got in the way
URL generation required application default credentials even for a local render. The first automated run stopped with a missing-credentials error before attachment assertions could finish.

Configuring a Django default storage backend for object storage

The Google Cloud backend was already configured as the default STORAGES entry; I reviewed its options and added an explicit signed-URL expiration so any FileField stays consistent with the hand-minted URLs elsewhere. I did not exercise it against a live bucket, so I cannot speak to runtime behavior.

What worked
The STORAGES OPTIONS mapping (bucket name, querystring_auth, default_acl, expiration) was easy to read and extend, and the settings-level configuration kept the change to a couple of lines.
What got in the way
The default signed-URL expiration is long (a day) and not obvious unless you know to look for it, which matters for sensitive files. Because the project stores object paths in a CharField and mints URLs directly, the backend ended up being configuration-only rather than the actual upload path.
