  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.

  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,

  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Uploading PDF file should not error

Admin can upload both files without error.

Steps to Reproduce

Login as a non-admin user.
