RunDownloadJob's onComplete handler was unconditionally firing
EmbedFileJob.dispatch after every ZIM download, gated only by "is
Ollama installed?". The rag.defaultIngestPolicy KV setting was never
consulted, so users who explicitly set Auto-index to Manual still got
every newly-downloaded ZIM auto-embedded.
RagService.scanAndSync already handles Manual correctly by recording
pending_decision rows instead of dispatching (rag_service.ts:1587-1638
via decideScanAction). The post-download path skipped that gate.
Mirror the same check at the dispatch site: read the policy KV; if
Manual, firstOrCreate a pending_decision row in kb_ingest_state so the
per-file Index affordance from PR #909 surfaces the file the same way
scan-time-discovered Manual files do. firstOrCreate (not create) so a
re-download doesn't demote an existing indexed/failed row — the user
can explicitly re-index from the KB panel if they want fresh content.
Verified on NOMAD3: with rag.defaultIngestPolicy='Manual', every ZIM
downloaded today via Content Explorer (agriculture-essential +
computing-essential, ~62 MB across 7 files) wrote kb_ingest_state
rows with state='indexed' instead of pending_decision. Real bug,
not a hot-patch artifact.
