## Title

    [Docling] HTML/XBRL images or resources not loaded: OperationNotAllowed "Fetching remote resources is only allowed when set explicitly. Set options.enable_remote_fetch=True."

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Backends block remote and local resource fetching by default and confine local access to a base_path.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Fetching local resources is only allowed when set explicitly. Set options.enable_local_fetch=True.
    - Local file access requires base_path for directory confinement:
