> ## Agent Instructions
> Document only operations in the linked OpenAPI contract: the source-data ingestion operations and the source-scoped outbound webhook management operations.
> Treat the generated OpenAPI document as authoritative for request fields. Never invent compatibility fields, alternate endpoints, or additional source models.
> Preserve explicit nulls, decimal strings, timestamps, source identifiers, immutable version identifiers, and document-version links exactly as defined.

# Submit a document

> Submit exactly one of contentBase64 or sourceUrl. Bytes are stored immediately; HTTP(S) URLs are retained verbatim as PENDING_DOWNLOAD references without fetching or signing. URL acceptance does not establish file availability. contentType describes the declared file type.
