Summary
--use-cuis enabledconvert_stream()dispatch pathProblem
The CLI documents piping input without a filename, but the
--use-cubranch exits before reaching the shared stdin path. Content Understanding analyzes binary input and does not require a local file path, so this guard unnecessarily preventscat report.pdf | markitdown --use-cu --cu-endpoint ....The endpoint validation remains unchanged, and filename-based conversion is unaffected.
