I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Add text content to knowledge and it is added.
Actual Behavior
If "Add text content" is used while adding Knowledge they should bypass docling since they are already in text format. Currently they are sent do docling and that returns and error so the import fails.
Steps to Reproduce
Go to add knowledge and try "Add text content"
Paste text into the input area.
Click save
Error is seen:
Logs & Screenshots
Additional Information
This might also hold true for any file that is already text formatted when its uploaded.
I apologize for using screenshots, as I was having fits with getting formatting and stuff preserved.
