+This source stages eight files per message in card-conversation downloads and
+prompt rendering, matching Terminal/New task and the application's shared cap.
+It does not change the 20 MB per-file policy or historical card-note references.
+The API must carry the expanded-batch handout guards before use. Release and
+install this daemon before sending more than four files to a card conversation;
+older/unknown handout processes retain the expanded message instead of running
+with a partial batch. Parked agents need Start after updating. Publication and
+installation are separate manual steps; a staged package version is not proof
+of either, and the app's published-latest pointer must wait for verified release.
