Start by reading the discussion in issue #875 to understand the proposed behavior and unresolved choices. Then locate Formidable's multipart parsing and option-handling entry points, along with related tests. Done means an opt-in option treats small text/plain files as fields, with tests covering the size boundary and default behavior.
