Research direction
Reproduce the upload from Administration → File Upload using an XCF file and the accepted media types listed in the report. Trace the file-upload media-type validation, then verify that an accepted GIMP XCF file uploads and its attachment is posted to the channel without the “Media Types Not Accepted” rejection.
