Content blobs dominate a full stream (13.2GB on sqlite) and indexing consumers discard them. The gate is artifact.parseForImport on the reconstructed bytes -- never a cache -- behind an O(1) reject-fast screen that admits card shapes and signature wrappers; skipped frames are not hashed or emitted, and the cursor advances over them, so filtered and unfiltered polls compose against one cursor. sqlite 13.2GB -> 3.9GB, tcl -> 682MB. check-in: a2fb222e32 user: dmestas tags: trunk
