// DefaultCloneBatchBytes bounds the wire bytes a single clone round emits.
//
// A clone batch is bounded by output size, never by artifact count. A count
// cannot adapt to artifact size: 200 tiny control artifacts and 200 large
// blobs produce wildly different messages, and neither corresponds to what
// the transport can carry. §8.2 leaves the bound entirely to the server
// ("clients MUST NOT infer count or size from range"), so the only real
// constraint is that the response stays a size a server can hold and that a
// repository drains in rounds proportional to its bytes, not its artifacts.
//
// emitCloneBatch now retransmits stored content per §7.2 (issue #98) rather
// than the fully expanded artifacts it used to send, so bytesSent tracks the
// same quantity canonical's 5,000,000 max-download bounds: repository bytes,
// not the 80x-220x-larger expanded form. This constant was chosen before that
// fix, against the expanded-bytes regime documented in issue #88 where a
// smaller value pushed fossil- and sqlite-sized corpora past MaxRounds --
// that constraint is gone now that wire bytes and repository bytes are the
// same quantity. Retuning this value toward canonical's constant is issue
// #109's territory (server pagination/budget accounting), not this fix's; it
// is left at its prior value here to avoid colliding with that work in
// flight. 16,000,000 stays a safe, if generous, upper bound either way: it
// only widens how much stored content one round may carry.
//
// This bounds an ordinary round at the budget plus the artifact that crosses
// it, and emitCloneBatch caps that sum at xfer.MaxDecompressedBytes so the
// client can always decode a round (issue #109). The one exception is a single
// artifact larger than that bound: it is sent alone, in a round of its own, to
// make progress -- so a repository holding one 2 GB artifact still emits a 2 GB
// round, but such an artifact is unclonable regardless. Measured worst case is
// ~25 MB across the three repositories above, since the largest single
// artifacts are 9.4 MB (libfossil) and 17.0 MB (sqlite). Against the count
// bound's unbounded 44.9 MB that is a large reduction, and concurrent clones
// multiply it.
const DefaultCloneBatchBytes = 16_000_000

// A round this server emits must stay inside the bound the client applies when
// it decompresses one, or a clone between two libfossil peers fails on a
// message this same code produced (issue #104). emitCloneBatch enforces that at
// runtime: it flushes a round rather than let an artifact carry it past
// xfer.MaxDecompressedBytes, and sends an over-bound artifact alone (issue
// #109). This compile-time guard makes that enforcement well-conditioned: with
// the bound at least twice the budget, filler accumulates up to one budget and
// any artifact up to a second budget still fits in the same round, so ordinary
// artifacts ride along and only genuinely large ones (above bound minus budget)
// take a round of their own. Raising DefaultCloneBatchBytes past half of
// xfer.MaxDecompressedBytes underflows this unsigned expression and fails the
// build rather than the clone.
const _ = uint(xfer.MaxDecompressedBytes - 2*DefaultCloneBatchBytes)

// cloneCardOverheadBytes over-approximates the non-payload bytes of an
// encoded cfile card -- keyword, hash, delta-source hash, two decimal
// lengths, and newline come to somewhat more than the plain "file" card's
// ~58 -- so that a repository of zero-length artifacts still paginates
// instead of emitting the whole blob table into a single response. The slack
// also absorbs the PrivateCard that may precede a card, which is not charged
// separately. This is charged against data before encodeCFile's zlib
// compression runs, so it is already conservative in the same direction as
// the framing overhead it approximates. Over-charging is the safe direction
// and cannot be defeated: a corpus of nothing but zero-length artifacts caps
// at ~167,000 cards per round, about 9.7 MB of actual output, still inside
// the budget.
