  AskAditya - a public LLM endpoint that cannot run up a bill

  $10 monthly spend ceiling, enforced in code

  POST /api/chat

    +-- content-length > 32KB?        -> 413   (before JSON.parse: no free CPU)
    +-- message empty or > 300 chars? -> 422
    +-- 10 requests this hour by IP?  -> 429
    +-- month-to-date spend >= $10?   -> 503   (circuit breaker, not an alarm)
