Content Types, Raw Bodies, and Uploads
JSON, form, and file-upload boundaries in the API.
Use JSON for DTO routes and multipart only for documented media routes.
Source boundary
Source boundary: AutoCore current main 7a504f6e430c16d4fcb03ebdea3cc3fb7816df60, checked against immutable v1.0.0-rc.1 at 9edfb109f44cc80385784c694b96392cfc04e70f.
The bootstrap caps JSON and URL-encoded bodies at 1 MB, retains a request-scoped raw body for payment signature verification, and leaves file-size enforcement to upload interceptors and media services.
| Check | Source-backed expectation |
|---|---|
| Scope | Never paste raw payment bodies, uploaded files, or signed headers into public documentation. |
| Evidence | Use placeholders, timestamps, release identity, route, status, and request ID where relevant. |
| Safe action | curl -i -H 'content-type: application/json' https://api.example.invalid/api/v1/health |
| Stop condition | Unknown authorization, destructive impact, secret exposure, or conflicting evidence. |
Verification
Run the safe check, record its result, and compare the outcome with the documented contract. If the result depends on external configuration or provider availability, mark it as configuration-dependent rather than claiming a product guarantee.
curl -i -H 'content-type: application/json' https://api.example.invalid/api/v1/health
Safety boundary
Examples are non-production and use placeholders. Do not deploy, reset, force a migration, create secrets, activate providers, replay sensitive work, or expose private data from this page.
