OpenDocument (ODF) files rejected with "Unsupported file type"

[biface]

What happened?

Description

Since upgrading from v0.8.0 to v0.8.3-rc1, uploading LibreOffice / OpenDocument files
(.ods, .odt, .odp) fails with the following error:

ErrorController => error Unsupported file type: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet

These files uploaded successfully in v0.8.0 (processed via fallback text parsing).

Additional Notes

• Confirmed on .odt and .ods; .odp not tested but likely affected given the same ErrorController rejection pattern.
• No related issues found in open or closed issues
• No errors in server startup logs; error only appears at upload time
• Workaround: users must convert ODF files to .docx or .pdf before uploading
• This appears to be a regression introduced between v0.8.0 and v0.8.3-rc1,
  possibly related to the native text parser work introduced in config v1.3.0

Configuration

fileConfig:
  endpoints:
    default:
      supportedMimeTypes:
        - "text/.*"
        - "application/.*"
        - "image/.*"

Even with the broad application/.* wildcard, the error persists.
The rejection appears to be hardcoded in ErrorController, not driven by config.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Deploy LibreChat v0.8.3-rc1 with config v1.3.4
2. Include ODF MIME types in fileConfig.endpoints.default.supportedMimeTypes:

   - "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text"
   - "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet"
   - "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.presentation"

3. Attempt to upload a .ods, .odt, or .odp file in the chat interface
4. Error is returned immediately

Firefox

Relevant log output

Expected Behavior

ODF files should be accepted and processed via fallback text parsing,
as they were in v0.8.0.

Actual Behavior

Upload is rejected by ErrorController with: unsupported file type: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet or unsupported file type: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text

The rejection occurs at the controller level regardless of supportedMimeTypes configuration.

Can you confirm the librechat.yaml file is applying at startup?

In particular, supportedMimeTypes.

Log locations:

• Docker: Project root directory ./logs
• npm: ./api/logs

There are two types of logs that can help diagnose the issue:

• debug logs (debug-YYYY-MM-DD.log)
• error logs (error-YYYY-MM-DD.log)

In any case, adding odf recognition by default is trivial to add, and will add it.
