fix: remove default plugin request size limit (#77)

[robertn702]

Fixes #77.

• Plugin: maxRequestBytes has no default; the body is read uncapped unless the option is set. Explicit values keep validation and both 413 checks (declared content-length and streamed bytes). Upstream providers enforce their own limits.
• Proxy: JEV_ROUTER_MAX_REQUEST_BYTES default raised from 1 MiB to 32 MiB.
• Docs, CLI help, .env.example, tests updated.
• Release prep: version 0.6.3 and changelog entry.

Verification: npm run check (231 tests + evals + typecheck), npm run build, npm run smoke:plugin:v2 (OpenCode 2.0.18) all pass locally.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Features
  • Plugin request bodies are no longer limited by default; an optional positive-integer limit can be configured.
  • The proxy’s default request-size limit increased from 1 MiB to 32 MiB. Requests exceeding a configured limit are still rejected with a 413 error.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The plugin request-size limit is now opt-in. The standalone proxy default increases from 1 MiB to 32 MiB. Configured limits retain positive-integer validation, and oversized requests still receive a 413 response.

Changes

Request body limits

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Optional plugin request limit src/plugin-runtime.ts, test/plugin-v2.test.ts, README.md	The plugin no longer applies a size limit when maxRequestBytes is unset. When configured, the limit checks declared and streamed body sizes. Tests cover unset and 1 MiB limits, and reject invalid values.
Standalone proxy 32 MiB default src/config.ts, src/server.ts, test/config.test.ts, .env.example, src/index.ts, docs/behavior.md, CHANGELOG.md, package.json	The standalone proxy default increases to 33,554,432 bytes. The configuration test and related documentation reflect the updated default. The package version changes to 0.6.3.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d5839

The plugin now accepts larger bodies unless users opt into a limit; the standalone proxy remains capped at 32 MiB. The reviewed evidence establishes no concrete merge-blocking failure.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in CHANGELOG.md: Adds the 0.6.3 changelog entry: the plugin no longer applies a default request-size limit (maxRequestBytes must be opted into), and the proxy default for JEV_ROUTER_MAX_REQUEST_BYTES rises from 1 MiB to 32 MiB.
• observed — Modified behavior in README.md: The maxRequestBytes option is now documented as unset (unlimited) by default, with an optional positive-integer limit; this replaces the prior 1,048,576-byte default description.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/behavior.md: The documented default for JEV_ROUTER_MAX_REQUEST_BYTES increases from 1 MiB to 32 MiB; the maximum-body behavior and 413 error remain unchanged.
• observed — Modified behavior in package.json: The package version changed from 0.6.2 to 0.6.3.

260-260: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Extract the duplicated default into a constant.

The literal 33_554_432 appears in src/server.ts and src/config.ts. The values can drift apart. Export one shared constant, for example DEFAULT_MAX_REQUEST_BYTES, and use it in both files.

Also applies to: 270-270

Define and export a shared DEFAULT_MAX_REQUEST_BYTES constant, then use it as
the fallback in both the request-size checks in server.ts and the corresponding
default in config.ts instead of duplicating the literal.
