Download file content
Download the file bytes with Content-Disposition: attachment. Requires the files:read permission. When object storage supports it (S3 with a public endpoint), responds 307 with a short-lived presigned Location; otherwise proxy-streams the bytes (200). Also gated by the per-file downloadable flag — a user upload is served only to its creator (403 otherwise).
