Changelog Entry

Description

Adds two new query parameters to file upload and download endpoints to provide better control when using files in LLM-driven flows or pipelines.

Added

ingest_file (bool) to the POST /files endpoint — allows skipping ingestion and only storing the file. Defaults to True for backward compatibility.
as_attachment (bool) to GET /files/{id}/content — allows returning file as download attachment when set to True.

Additional Information

These changes make it easier to programmatically generate and retrieve files in pipeline workflows.
Example: An LLM creates a .txt file via /files?ingest_file=false and then returns a download link using /files/{id}/content?as_attachment=true.
