Fields shown in the editor when configuring the node. Generated directly from the NodeDefconfigFields.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
`path` File	`file-picker`	yes	— es. report.json (relativo alla sandbox tenant)	Path nel sandbox del tenant (relativo o assoluto se allowlistato). Usa il bottone "📂 Sfoglia…" per navigare.
`encoding` Encoding	`enum` `utf8utf16lebase64hexbinary`	no	`utf8`	utf8/utf16le → output `content` stringa (testo/JSON/CSV). base64/hex/binary → output `binary`: un HANDLE BinaryData (ref content-addressed sul disco del tenant, dedup, streaming) invece di gonfiare il JSON. Si collega a Write File / email / PDF / Excel che consumano BinaryData. Consigliato per immagini/PDF/file binari.
