Where 50 MB matters

A 52,428,800-byte file: exactly the size at which Git hosting on GitHub starts warning about large files, and about the limit for a zipped AWS Lambda package uploaded directly.

Testing notes for WebP

Allow-lists written years ago often contain only JPEG, PNG and GIF, so WebP uploads fail on otherwise working forms.
Sniffers that read only the first four bytes see RIFF and may confuse WebP with WAV or AVI.
