## Description

Implement the "Ingest Location" workflow, which provides a quarantine zone for new file uploads. This will allow for user-configurable processing of new files before they are added to the main library.

## Implementation Steps

1.  Design the concept of an "Ingest Location", a special type of location where new files are placed.
2.  Implement a workflow engine that can apply a series of processing steps to files in the Ingest Location.
3.  Develop a set of default processing steps (e.g., virus scanning, metadata extraction, AI analysis).
4.  Allow users to configure the processing steps for each Ingest Location.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] A user can configure an Ingest Location.
- [ ] New files uploaded to the Ingest Location are processed according to the configured workflow.
- [ ] Processed files are moved to their final destination in the library.
