ZimService.registerLocalUpload() dispatched EmbedFileJob unconditionally,
gated only on whether Ollama was reachable. It never read
rag.defaultIngestPolicy, so a user who deliberately chose Manual still got
sideloaded ZIMs embedded into the knowledge base behind their back.
PR #919 fixed exactly this for the post-download dispatch path. The
local-upload path was missed.
Rather than inline a third copy of the Always/Manual conditional, this
reuses decideScanAction, the same helper the scanner uses. That also means
an existing browse_only or pending_decision row is now honored instead of
being overridden by the act of re-uploading the file, which the inline
version in run_download_job.ts does not do.
Unset policy is still treated as Always, so existing installs keep their
current behavior.
Reported by @just-jbc on #1119, which also proposed disabling ZIM
auto-discovery entirely. That larger change is not included here: turning
discovery off by default would mean a user who downloads Wikipedia through
the curated flow gets no AI answers from it and no explanation why.
