ffkv behavior and limits

Documents cap at 4 MiB compact JSON, 262,144 nodes and depth 128. Paths cap at 16 KiB and matching at 65,536 results, with additional expression/projection work budgets. JSON trees stay RAM-resident in hybrid mode.

Source: README.md:357–358, 375–377; tests/bdd/features/json.feature.

All requests share the 8 MiB framing/1,024-argument ingress limit; normal RESP replies have 64 MiB wire/logical budgets with bounded nesting/value counts. Management and Lua origins impose smaller budgets. These are not a process RSS cap. Catalog inclusion is not exhaustive option or wire-format parity. See limits and compatibility.

Metadata availability

This command is in the canonical catalog but has no matching entry in the pinned src/command_metadata.json. Argument flags, complexity and key specifications are not invented. Use the syntax, upstream source documentation and actual scenario evidence below.

BDD coverage and source examples

These are source observations, not a test run performed by this documentation build. A tag identifies scenario intent; an extracted vector identifies a command invocation, which may intentionally produce an error. Scenarios may require setup, multiple connections, persistence, cluster nodes or native-module fixtures.

Extracted command vectors

The following JSON arrays are the test harness’s argument vectors, not shell commands. Numeric arguments are converted by the harness; objects of the form {"base64":"…"} represent decoded binary bytes, not a literal JSON command argument. Preserve scenario setup and connection ordering. See the CLI guide for shell quoting and binary stdin. No reply is invented or inferred.
