10/// Configurable limits for the request handler.
11///
12/// All fields have sensible defaults. Create with [`HandlerLimits::default()`]
13/// and override individual values as needed.
14///
15/// # Example
16///
17/// ```rust
18/// use a2a_protocol_server::handler::HandlerLimits;
19///
20/// let limits = HandlerLimits::default()
21///     .with_max_id_length(2048)
22///     .with_max_metadata_size(2 * 1024 * 1024);
23/// ```
24///
25/// `#[non_exhaustive]`: build it with [`Default`] and the `with_*` setters,
26/// which cover every field; a struct literal is not available outside this
27/// crate, so a field added later does not break callers.
