Expected Behavior

When using the RAG feature with a PDF file added via drag and drop, the answer should include a "References from" section at the bottom. This section previously listed the relevant document chunks used to generate the response.

Actual Behavior

After updating from v0.6.2 to v0.6.8, the "References from" section no longer appears in the response, even though the RAG functionality still works and the answers are contextually correct.

Steps to Reproduce

Launch OpenWebUI v0.6.8
2. Use a local DeepSeek-R1 model
3. Drag and drop a PDF file into the interface to build the knowledge base
4. Build a new model based on "DeepSeek-R1 + knownledge"
5. Observe the response: the "References from" section is missing
