      summary: Get a presigned URL for a direct file upload
      description: "First step of the direct file-upload flow. Issues a presigned S3 POST\npolicy and records a pending upload.\n\n**Uploading a file takes three steps:**\n\n1. **Get a URL** — call this endpoint. It returns `{ fileId, url, fields }`.\n2. **Upload directly to S3** — send a `multipart/form-data` `POST` to\n   `url`. Include **every** key/value from `fields` as form fields first,\n   then the file itself as the last field named `file`. The upload goes\n   straight to S3; it does not pass through this API. A successful upload\n   returns HTTP `204` from S3.\n3. **Mark the upload complete** — call\n   `POST /api/files/upload-complete` with the `fileId` from step 1. This\n   records the file and returns its download URL.\n\nThe presigned policy enforces the content type and a 1 byte–50 MB size\nrange. Both `extension` and `contentType` must be on the accepted lists.\n\n`attachEntityType` is `channel`, `aptlet`, or `knowledge`, and\n`attachEntityId` is the channel id, aptlet uuid, or knowledge doc id\nrespectively. The target must exist (scoped to your company) or the\nrequest is rejected. The file is stored under that entity's folder.\n"
