# The black-box fixture server in examples/ is a test asset, and docs/ holds

# the published package: the recordings alone are most of a megabyte.
# `deny.toml` configures a CI check and means nothing to a consumer of the
# published crate.

# Applies to what people download, and to `cargo install`. Symbols are 4 MB
# of a 20 MB binary and are no use without the matching source. `"debuginfo"`
# was the first choice, for backtraces that still name functions, but it
# saves nothing on macOS, where that information lives in a separate .dSYM

# `regex` rather than `regex-lite` for `find -E`. The intuition is backwards

# itself. Measured against the same release binary, the full crate adds
# 100 KiB and no new crates, while regex-lite adds 182 KiB and one more
# supply-chain entry.
