;; Example climit.edn file
;; Required: permits
;; Optional: queue, omitted means Integer/MAX_VALUE (unbounded)
;; Optional: timeout in milliseconds, omitted means the thread waits for a
;; permit forever, and a saturated limiter parks it for good. Values below:
;; 60s for operations that can be slow (file updates, images, fonts, thumbnails,
;; snapshots, imports, branches, pull requests) and 30s for the rest.
;; Note: a queue bounds how many waiters pile up, a timeout bounds how long one
;; waiter waits. Every entry sets a timeout; the by-profile ones also set a
;; queue, which is where a pile-up hurts.

 ;; Every limit below is provisional. The container that runs the preview
 ;; has no heap cap: `docker/devenv/files/entrypoint.sh` and
 ;; `backend/scripts/_env` both replace JAVA_OPTS without `-Xmx`, and the
 ;; live JVM command line carries none, so the budget is the JVM default
 ;; and it is unmeasured. The permit counts are derived from the
 ;; neighbours above instead of from a memory figure, and they stay
 ;; provisional until a peak-heap measurement of a cold compare on the
 ;; design-system file replaces them.
 ;;
 ;; The anchor is the snapshot pair above: `:create-file-snapshot/global`
 ;; admits three whole-file operations at once, each realizing one
 ;; document and writing one snapshot, and `:restore-file-snapshot/global`
 ;; admits the same three for an operation that also writes a rollback
 ;; snapshot and the older payload back into the file. A branch operation
 ;; realizes more than one document, so it has to admit fewer at once to
 ;; keep the same number of realized documents in flight.
 ;;
 ;; What each operation holds, read from the code:
 ;;  * `create-file-branch` realizes main once and writes one snapshot
 ;;    (`backend/src/app/rpc/commands/files_branch.clj::create-file-branch`),
 ;;    which is the anchor's shape and the anchor's cost.
 ;;  * `merge-file-branch` and `update-branch-from-main` hold three
 ;;    realized documents at once: main, the derived branch, and the base
 ;;    snapshot (`files_branch.clj::merge-file-branch`,
 ;;    `files_branch.clj::update-branch-from-main`). Both also write a
 ;;    snapshot and a whole file payload, and the update computes a
 ;;    second diff for the squash, so they earn the tightest count.
 ;;  * `materialize-file-branch` realizes the branch and the libraries it
 ;;    validates against, then writes the whole payload
 ;;    (`files_branch.clj::materialize-file-branch`), so it sits between
 ;;    the anchor and the merge pair.
 ;;  * `create-pull-request` and `update-pull-request-snapshot` realize the
 ;;    branch once and write one review snapshot
 ;;    (`files_pull_request.clj::create-pull-request`,
 ;;    `files_pull_request.clj::update-pull-request-snapshot`), which is
 ;;    the anchor's shape again.
 ;;
 ;; The write-side operations carry a queue so that a refusal follows a
 ;; bounded wait rather than arriving instantly. The queue sits on the
 ;; per-profile entry, following the anchor, and on the global entry
 ;; where the command declares no per-profile queue. The per-profile
 ;; entry of one permit keeps a single designer to one operation at a
 ;; time. The two read-side entries are generous by design and carry no
 ;; queue, so a panel open waits for its turn instead of being refused:
 ;; six three-document comparisons hold eighteen realized documents,
 ;; fewer than the twenty one-document saves `:update-file/global`
 ;; already admits.
 ;;
 ;; Every entry below, global and per-profile, read and write, takes the
 ;; 60 s timeout of the slow operations above. The size gates in
 ;; `backend/src/app/rpc/commands/files_branch.clj` refuse any file large
 ;; enough for an operation to exceed 30 s, with the measured limit
 ;; halved, so a 60 s wait covers one in-flight operation at that
 ;; ceiling with as much again in margin.

 ;; create-file-branch realizes main and writes one snapshot, the shape
 ;; of `:create-file-snapshot` above, so it takes the anchor's numbers
 ;; unchanged. Provisional.
