Research direction
Reproduce the upload through both the API and web interface, focusing on top-level directoryLabel handling for .hidden/file; nested hidden directories are reported to work. Trace where the leading dot is removed and verify that uploads preserve .hidden/file in both entry points, with regression coverage for the reported behavior.
