From dfcdf53f64740b499aedb140c08cd07481649671 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sanil-23 Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 23:38:57 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Apply web_fetch's max_bytes to the extracted text, not the markup MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `max_bytes` cut the raw HTML before the extractor ran, so lowering it could destroy the page it was meant to bound. Measured: a 432,864-byte client-rendered document fetched with max_bytes 50000 was cut mid-DOM, and the readability pass recovered only its — `extracted=48B_of_432864B`, reported as `status=200`. The same URL with no max_bytes yields `extracted=37243B_of_433638B`. Identical tool, identical extractor, 776x the content, one parameter. A caller setting a sensible cost bound therefore lost the document silently, and the knob it would then reach for — raising the cap — was the right knob turned too timidly, which is the worst case for learning anything. Convert first, bound second. Bounding the output is what the schema promises, and it costs no memory: `resp.text()` already materialises the whole body, so max_bytes never bounded a download. Only the extractor's input needs a ceiling, and that is for CPU — EXTRACTOR_INPUT_CEILING, 8 MiB, ~19x the largest real page seen. The ordering is lifted into `render_body` so it is directly testable, including a counterfactual that the old ordering loses the prose from the same document. Contract changes: the `max_bytes` schema description now says which side of the extractor it bounds, and the header reports `output_capped_at=` instead of `download_capped_at=` — nothing here ever capped a download, and the old name sent readers looking in the wrong place.
