📄 Description

Closes #24807

Root cause: Knowledge upload pipeline did linking AFTER processing. If user navigated away during the slow embedding step, files were orphaned in the vector DB with no relational record.

Fix: Reversed order — link FIRST (fast), process SECOND (slow). Rollback link on processing failure. Applies to both single-file and batch endpoints.
