# Deferred resource work
These two proposals remain deferred after the completed audit remediation for
v0.7.0. Their assessments are complete; production limits and exclusion indexing
await a future decision supported by consumer needs. The assessment evidence
was recorded in commit `9dc87ae`.
## Forge JSON response budgets
**Status:** Deferred; local sizing assessment complete.
Forge JSON decoding can consume memory proportional to response size. Release
notes and unpaginated attachment lists have no established supported maximum.
A future proposal should establish an appropriate response envelope before
selecting byte/time budgets or configuration. Any limit must retain context
cancellation, useful error classification, and uncertain-write reconciliation:
a rejected response does not establish that a create or upload failed remotely.
The [Gitea fixtures](../../internal/gitea/backend_test.go) construct repository,
release, tag, and attachment responses. Representative encoded fixtures measured
81 bytes for repository identity, 136 with permissions, 125 for a sparse release,
144 for a populated release, 73 for a one-item attachment list, and 62 for an
upload response, including the encoder's newline. Four literal release-ID
fixtures measured 21, 28, 29, and 29 bytes without a newline. Generated URLs,
notes, and lists vary with fixture inputs.
The checked-in v0.1.0–v0.6.0 release notes measured 1,235–7,899 bytes during the
assessment. These observations describe local examples and establish no
deployment or protocol maximum. Production response caps remain deferred.
## File-size exclusion indexing
**Status:** Deferred; benchmark assessment complete.
The current [exclusion scan](../../internal/validation/file_size.go) compares
each selected file with the normalized exclusions until a match is found.
The adoption decision weighs measured speedups against allocation and
path-walking costs for consumer workloads. Preserve literal component boundaries,
module-relative normalization, shared inputs, and the first oversized-file result.
The [benchmark-only prototype](../../internal/validation/file_size_benchmark_test.go)
compares the scan with a normalized set and ancestor lookups. It covers 1,000
and 10,000 paths, 1/10/100/1,000 exclusions, shallow/deep paths, early matches,
and nonmatches. Each measured operation includes normalization and one index
construction where applicable; fixture strings are prepared outside timing.
On Linux/amd64, Go 1.26.8, Intel Core i5-7260U, 64 combinations ran with three
samples each using:
```sh
GOTOOLCHAIN=local GOPROXY=off GOSUMDB=off go test ./internal/validation \
-run '^$' -bench '^BenchmarkFileSizeExclusions$' -benchtime=100ms -count=3
```
Representative median times and allocations were:
| Paths / exclusions / case | Scan | Index |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1,000 / 1 / shallow early match | 24.5 µs, 16 B, 1 allocation | 44.0 µs, 16 B, 1 allocation |
| 1,000 / 1 / deep nonmatch | 25.7 µs, 16 B, 1 allocation | 119.0 µs, 16 B, 1 allocation |
| 10,000 / 1,000 / shallow early match | 270 µs, 16,384 B, 1 allocation | 564 µs, 70,992 B, 6 allocations |
| 10,000 / 1,000 / shallow nonmatch | 227.0 ms, 16,384 B, 1 allocation | 521 µs, 70,992 B, 6 allocations |
| 10,000 / 1,000 / deep nonmatch | 233.4 ms, 16,384 B, 1 allocation | 1.36 ms, 70,992 B, 6 allocations |
The prototype was slower for small lists and early matches, and faster for
large nonmatching lists with higher allocation costs. Production matching
remains unchanged pending an adoption decision.
