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:

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Docling] HTML/XBRL images or resources not loaded: OperationNotAllowed "Fetching remote resources is only allowed when set explicitly. Set options.enable_remote_fetch=True."
Recommended action: Set backend options enable_remote_fetch=True and/or enable_local_fetch=True (with base_path for local files) only for trusted inputs.
Option: Enable fetch options for trusted docs [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: HTML/XBRL
Steps:
1. Set backend options enable_remote_fetch=True (and enable_local_fetch=True with base_path)
Expected: Resources loaded
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
