Description
## Current state
In the first implementation we decided to accept these file formats:
- PDF
- Word (doc, docx)
- Excel (xls, xlsx)
- CSV
- PNG
- JPG
- TXT
## Consider exploring adding additional missing requested file formats:
- JSON
- XML
- PowerPoint (PPT / PPTX)
- Email (MSG)
- MP4
- ZIP
- KML
- etc.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the existing file-upload implementation and reviewing related issue #6300; the payload does not name a file or test. Clarify the supported formats and extension-level controls, then verify that uploads accept the agreed formats and reject unsupported extensions.
