Where 1 KB matters

The smallest practical test file: 1,024 bytes, small enough to travel in a single network packet. These are the default limits a file of this size is useful for testing:

System	Limit	Note
Ethernet	1,500 bytes (typical MTU)	A 1 KB payload fits in one packet with its headers.
Browser cookies	4,096 bytes per cookie	1 KB is well inside the limit; the 5 KB sample is over it.

Checking project tooling

Testing notes for TOML

Arrays of tables use double brackets, [[name]], and are easy to confuse with ordinary tables.
Dates are a native type, so a value such as 2026-01-01 is not a string unless it is quoted.
