This PR removes the CLI's hard client-side rejection of packages over 50 MB. The server enforces the actual bundle-size limit on every deploy path and reports that limit in its error response, so the client-side check was redundant. Worse, it blocked users whose server is configured to allow larger bundles, and every change to the limit required a CLI release.

Instead of aborting, the CLI now prints a non-fatal warning when a package exceeds 500 MB, noting that the server may reject it depending on its configured limit. When the server does reject a deploy, its error message already reaches the user through the existing deploy error rendering, which prints the detail and errors fields from the API response for 422s and for any other error status, so that path is unchanged.

MAX_PACKAGE_SIZE is removed from tower-package along with its re-export, since nothing else used it. A 500 MB figure survives only as an advisory constant, LARGE_PACKAGE_WARNING_THRESHOLD, next to the warning in the deploy path.

Older CLI versions keep their client-side 50 MB check until users upgrade, which is fine because the server enforces the real limit either way. No tests asserted the old rejection, and the warning sits inside the upload path where the existing unit-test structure has no way to exercise it without a live endpoint, so this ships without new tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Large package uploads now display an advisory warning instead of being blocked automatically.
    • The server now determines and reports the applicable bundle-size limit.
  • Changes

    • Uploads exceeding 50 MiB trigger a warning while remaining eligible for submission.

Walkthrough

The deployment client now warns when packages exceed 50 MiB and continues uploads. The server determines the actual package-size limit. The public MAX_PACKAGE_SIZE constant and re-export were removed.

The client adds a public 50 MiB warning threshold and continues uploads after warning for larger packages. The public MAX_PACKAGE_SIZE constant and re-export are removed.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f3587

The CLI now warns instead of rejecting packages above 50 MB and leaves enforcement to the server, but the current implementation exposes the advisory threshold publicly and labels a binary-size calculation as MB. These create bounded API and user-facing clarity risks that are mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

The CLI used to hard-reject any package over 50 MB before uploading. The
server enforces its own bundle-size limit and reports it in its error
response, so the client-side check was redundant, blocked servers
configured with higher limits, and required a CLI release to change.

The check is now a non-fatal warning above 50 MB, and MAX_PACKAGE_SIZE
is removed from tower-package in favor of a local advisory threshold in
the deploy path.

Keep the warning threshold private.

Line 19 declares LARGE_PACKAGE_WARNING_THRESHOLD as pub. The PR objective says this value must remain private. Remove pub so callers cannot depend on the client-only warning threshold.

Proposed fix
-pub const LARGE_PACKAGE_WARNING_THRESHOLD: u64 = 50 * 1024 * 1024;
+const LARGE_PACKAGE_WARNING_THRESHOLD: u64 = 50 * 1024 * 1024;

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a consistent size unit in the warning.

Line 44 calculates MiB using 1024.0 * 1024.0, but Line 46 labels the value as MB. Rename the variable and display unit to MiB, or calculate decimal megabytes instead.

Proposed fix
-        let size_mb = file_size as f64 / (1024.0 * 1024.0);
+        let size_mib = file_size as f64 / (1024.0 * 1024.0);
         out.write(&format!(
-            "Warning: Your app package is large ({:.2} MB). The server may reject it depending on its configured maximum bundle size. You can reduce app size by removing unnecessary files or import_paths in the Towerfile.\n",
