Summary

When files are uploaded via LibreChat, LibreChat sanitizes filenames (replacing spaces and special characters with underscores) before telling the model about them. However, KCR was storing files with the original unsanitized filename. This meant the model would try to open my_file.csv but the file on disk in the pod was actually my file.csv, causing the first execution to fail. The model would then have to list the directory, discover the real name, and retry.

This fix moves filename sanitization to happen before storage, so the name on disk matches what LibreChat reports.
