Research direction

Start by reproducing the DOCX conversion that raises FileConversionException(attempts=failed_attempts), using the reporter's complex document if it can be obtained. Read the DOCX conversion path and the failed-attempt handling around FileConversionException, then compare the behavior with the successful pandoc conversion. Done means the reported document converts successfully or the failure is reported with a clear, actionable reason.
