Recommended action: Use ASCII-safe ids (hash or slugify source names, store the original name in metadata); cast integer ids to str. Option: Hash or slugify ids and keep originals in metadata [evidence: documented_workaround] Applies when: ids from file names/titles Steps: 1. vid = hashlib.sha1(name.encode()).hexdigest() 2. metadata["source"] = name Expected: Ids validate Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
