Research direction

Reproduce the issue with a blank Chatflow, an optional File List input with a default value, and Vision enabled in the LLM node. Compare the Preview and WebApp paths and trace where the WebApp rejects the configured file list. Done means the default file list is readable in both Preview and WebApp without an "Invalid upload file" error.
