Where 500 KB matters

A 512,000-byte file: larger than most API body limits, smaller than most upload limits. These are the default limits a file of this size is useful for testing:

System	Limit	Note
Amazon DynamoDB items	400 KB per item	500 KB cannot be stored as a single item.
Express body parsers	100 KB by default	Rejected unless the limit is raised.
nginx request body	1 MB by default (client_max_body_size)	Accepted with room to spare.

Testing notes for TOML

Dates are a native type, so a value such as 2026-01-01 is not a string unless it is quoted.
Arrays of tables use double brackets, [[name]], and are easy to confuse with ordinary tables.
