PDF and DOCX support datalab and deterministic; XLSX, EML and MSG support deterministic; PNG/JPEG support datalab. Defaults are datalab for PDF/images and deterministic otherwise. Optional fallback_strategy runs once only when the primary produces no extractable content. Incomplete content, malformed files, limits, cancellation and provider errors never trigger fallback. Content is kept per strategy and reused whatever converter version produced it, so a newer version never re-extracts a Document by itself. A fallback is reused only after the requested strategy found no extractable content. Equivalent active work is shared. A different active strategy or fallback policy returns 409 with workflow_run_id. A new strategy adds content and never replaces content from another strategy. Failed/cancelled work can be retried as a linked new run. Does not extend unlinked-upload retention. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi-preview.json post /v1/documents/{id}/extract openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Watchdog API (preview) version: 1.0.0 description: >- Development preview for agreements, price items, document relationships, canonical invoices, alerts and alert topics, claims and attached alerts, shared entity activity and comments, Document uploads, invoice imports, explicit invoice-agreement matching, and workflow runs. This contract is under development and is not served by api.watchdog.no. Request bodies are limited to 2 MiB (2,097,152 bytes), including all JSON fields and line data, except POST /v1/support/contact which permits 32 MiB for base64 attachments. File bytes are uploaded directly to storage. The existing public REST service retains its separate contract. servers: - url: http://localhost:3500 description: Local development Worker security: [] paths: /v1/documents/{id}/extract: post: tags: - Documents summary: Extract Document content description: >- Extracts an organization-owned PDF, DOCX, XLSX, EML, MSG, PNG or JPEG.
