Research direction

Start by locating the JS/Fetch multipart/form-data example and the code that generates its file-upload snippet. Compare the current output with the issue's File-based example, then verify that generated multipart examples reference the selected file rather than the string "logo.png".

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently in the JS / Fetch example, it shows multipart file uploads like so:

This doesn't work as it just sends the string "logo.png" instead of the file.

A better example might be:

// HTML file input, chosen by user
const fileInputs = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="file"]')

form.append("file", fileInputs[0].files[0]);
