Expected Result
The Ingestion workflow completes without unresolved validation errors, and the result is visible to the intended roles.
Security and Audit Notes
- Use the least-privileged role that can complete the task.
- Confirm the resulting change or decision appears in the workspace audit trail when the workflow changes customer data or access.
Limits and Preconditions
- Available controls depend on the tenant plan, enabled modules, jurisdiction, and administrator policy.
- If a named control is not visible, confirm entitlement and role access before treating the behavior as a product failure.
Troubleshooting
- Unsupported attachment encoding: Normalize files to supported PDF/DOCX encodings.
