Student document uploads have no content-type/extension allowlist #244

Description

@PianoNic

`StudentDocumentsController.Upload` enforces a 50MB size limit but accepts any file type/extension. Downloads do set an explicit attachment filename/content-type rather than rendering inline, which limits impact, but nothing currently stops arbitrary file types from being stored.

Fix: add a content-type/extension allowlist (and/or AV scan) on upload.

Found during the Aug 2026 security sweep.
