  - `contentHash` string, required
  - `deduplicated` boolean, required
  - `id` string, required
  - `status` 'queued' | 'extracting' | 'chunking' | 'embedding' | 'keywording' | 'extracting_nodes' | 'ready' | 'failed', required — Lifecycle state of a [`Document`] in the ingestion pipeline. Matches the SurrealQL `ASSERT $value IN [...]` on `document.status` in `V1__schema.surql`. The `Keywording` state is reserved for Phase C; in Phase A the pipeline transitions straight from `Embedding` to `Ready`.
