api: raise batch request-target guard to 16 KiB - #69
Batch queries rejected 100 typical AT-URIs (~10.5 KB encoded) because the request-target guard was 7,000 bytes. getReactionCounts and getActorReactions had no guard.
Fix
Guard raised to 16,384 encoded bytes (moved to lua/shared/batchRequestTarget.lua); reaction batch endpoints now use it.
Overflow still returns 500 script_error with an InvalidRequest: message: pinned HappyView 2.13.0 maps every Lua error() to 500, and scripts can't set a status.
Batch queries for follows, follower counts, comment counts, and reactions now support encoded GET request targets up to 16,384 bytes, increased from 7,000 bytes where previously limited.
Typical batches of up to 100 record links can be handled in a single query. Requests exceeding the size limit are rejected as invalid.
…ion batches
100 typical hypercert AT-URIs encode to ~10.5 KB and were rejected by the
7000-byte guard. getReactionCounts and getActorReactions now share the guard.
Overflow stays a 500 script_error: the pinned HappyView 2.13.0 maps every
Lua error() to 500 and offers no way for a script to set the status.
Reaction bundles only need the byte guard, not follow_batch_targets, which
luacheck flags as unused there. Old oversize fixtures for getFollows and
getFollowerCounts fit under 16 KiB, so they are enlarged to stay oversize.
Covers getFollows, getEntityFollows, getFollowerCounts and getCommentCounts,
and adds the limit to getReactionCounts and getActorReactions. Regenerates
the explorer snapshots and API client; updates the skill references.
Batch query handlers now enforce a 16,384-byte encoded GET request-target limit. The change updates graph, comment-count, and reaction queries, adds request-size tests, and updates API documentation and release notes.
Graph and comment-count handlers check the encoded request-target against a 16,384-byte limit. The 100-target cap remains. Validation counts submitted targets, including duplicates. Tests and API references cover the updated limit.
Reaction handlers validate encoded request-target length. Tests cover 100 typical subjects and oversized requests. API references document the limit and include request-target length among InvalidRequest conditions.
Reaction endpoints now reject very large batch requests that were previously accepted, and the release note marks this as a patch change. The documented byte limit may also not match exactly how it is enforced. Both are small issues to settle before release, and the core change looks safe to merge.

Measure the received request-target, or document the limit as canonical encoding.
The guard in batchRequestTarget.lua estimates the target length from the decoded values. It counts unreserved ASCII as one byte and every other byte as three. A client can percent-encode unreserved characters, for example %61 for a. That form is longer on the wire than the guard counts. A request can then exceed the documented 16,384-byte encoded request-target limit and still pass the guard. The guard cannot detect this because it never reads the raw target. A separate wire-size limit in the HTTP layer may reject such a request first, but this repository does not show one.
Choose one correction:
Check the raw request-target length, if HappyView exposes it to the endpoint.
Describe the limit as measured on canonical encoding in openapi.json and the matching Lexicon descriptions.
The current descriptions promise a wire limit that the guard does not enforce.

Bump the bundle to major for the new reaction byte limit.
getReactionCounts and getActorReactions had no request-target byte guard before this change. Both now reject encoded requests over 16,384 bytes. Subject lists within the documented 1–100 range can exceed that limit, so requests the API accepted before can now fail. This is an incompatible change, and the changeset guidance assigns major to those. Set both package entries to major to match the bump.
