## MIME Detection Security
Content is detected by magic bytes, not user-supplied Content-Type:
Content is detected by UTF-8 validation (text vs binary):

User uploads "image.png" with PHP payload
User uploads content

[Magic byte detection] --> Not PNG magic --> text/plain
|
[UTF-8 validation] --> Valid UTF-8 --> text/plain
| Invalid --> application/octet-stream
v
[X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff] --> Browser won't sniff

[CSP: default-src 'none'] --> No script execution
