# BUG: File Download Failure from UI
**Goal:** Investigate and fix the issue causing `.md` and `.json` file downloads initiated from the UI (likely the Consolidated Files Browser) to fail.
**Status:** Completed
**Symptoms:**
* User clicks download button for a `.md` or `.json` file in the UI.
* Browser attempts download, but it fails, showing "Failed to Download" in the downloads list (as per user screenshot).
**Root Cause:**
* The frontend component (`ConsolidatedFiles.tsx`) was sending the file identifier using the query parameter `file_path`.
* The backend API route handler (`app/api/storage/download/route.ts`) was incorrectly expecting the query parameter to be named `path`. This mismatch caused the backend to fail in retrieving the correct file path from the request URL.
**Fix:**
* Modified the backend API route handler (`app/api/storage/download/route.ts`) to correctly read the query parameter named `file_path` instead of `path`.
**Verification:**
* Debug mode confirmed that after applying the fix and rebuilding the Docker image, file downloads initiated from the UI are now working successfully.
**History:**
* **[Timestamp]**: User reported file download failures with screenshot. Bug tracking file created.
* **[Timestamp]**: Delegated investigation and fix to Debug mode.
* **[Timestamp]**: Debug mode identified query parameter mismatch (`path` vs `file_path`) in `app/api/storage/download/route.ts` as the root cause.
* **[Timestamp]**: Debug mode corrected the parameter name in the route handler. Fix verified.
