Summary

Document uploads from the Documents page fail with a "timeout of 10000ms exceeded" error when uploading medium-sized files (1-5MB). The upload progress indicator briefly flashes a percentage before the timeout error appears.

Environment

Location: Staging server
Page: Documents page (/documents)
Reproducibility: 100% - happens every time

Steps to Reproduce

Navigate to the Documents page
Click to upload a document
Select a medium-sized file (1-5MB, e.g., PDF or high-res image)
Observe progress indicator flash briefly
Error appears: "timeout of 10000ms exceeded"

Expected Behavior

Document upload should complete successfully regardless of file size (within reasonable limits).

Actual Behavior

Upload times out after 10 seconds before completing.

Console Errors

timeout of 10000ms exceeded

Additional Context

Unrelated 500 error also observed on ownership costs endpoint (may be separate issue):

/api/ownership-costs/vehicle/2d350b3e-64f3-4c48-ab79-af1900ac961e:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 ()

Potential Causes

Frontend API client timeout configuration too short for larger uploads
Backend upload handling may need streaming or chunked upload support
Traefik/proxy timeout settings may be limiting request duration

Acceptance Criteria

Medium-sized files (1-5MB) upload successfully
Appropriate timeout configured for upload endpoints
Progress indicator reflects actual upload progress
Error handling provides user-friendly feedback if upload fails
