Returns:
    Document metadata row representing the newly-ingested text.

Ingest Text

Ingest a **file** asynchronously.

The file is uploaded to object storage, a *Document* stub is persisted
with ``status='processing'`` and a background worker picks up the heavy
parsing / chunking work.

Args:
    file: Uploaded file from multipart/form-data.
    metadata: JSON-string representing user metadata.
    rules: JSON-string with extraction / NL rules list.

Each file is treated the same as :func:`ingest_file` but sharing the same
request avoids many round-trips. All heavy work is still delegated to the
background worker pool.

Args:
    files: List of files to upload.
    metadata: Either a single JSON-string dict or list of dicts matching
        the number of files.
    rules: Either a single rules list or list-of-lists per file.

List Workflows

Create Workflow

Get Workflow

Delete Workflow

Queue a workflow run and return immediately.

The heavy execution is scheduled in a *BackgroundTask* so the request
finishes quickly, enabling the UI to update the document row to
"processing" without waiting for LLM calls.

List all model configurations for the authenticated user and app.

List Model Configs

Create Model Config

Get Model Config

Update Model Config

Delete Model Config

Create Custom Model

Return recent logs for the authenticated user (scoped by user_id).

Get Logs

Generate a cloud URI for *request.app_id* owned by the calling user.

The *user_id* is derived from the bearer token.  The caller can therefore
not create applications for *other* users unless their token carries the
``admin`` permission (mirroring the community behaviour).

Create App

Provision a **brand-new** Neon database for *request.app_name*.

The caller must be authenticated to the dedicated Morphik instance.  The
authenticated user (represented by the JWT's *user_id*) becomes the owner
of the provisioned app.

Create App Route

Destroy the Neon project and metadata associated with *app_name*.

Only the owner of the application (identified via *auth.user_id*) may
perform this destructive action.

Delete App Route

Checks the current authentication status for the given connector type.

Get Auth Status For Connector

Return the provider's *authorization_url* for the given connector.

The method mirrors the logic of the `/auth/initiate` endpoint but sends a
JSON payload instead of a redirect so that browsers can stay on the same
origin until they intentionally navigate away.

For OAuth-based connectors, this returns authorization_url.
For manual credential connectors, this returns the credential form specification.
