// Two base64 layers stack between the raw file and the wire: the client
// base64-encodes the file into the plaintext before encrypting (see
// static/crypto.js, ~4/3 inflation), then nym.Client.Send base64-encodes
// the whole ciphertext again to embed it in the JSON message sent to the
// local nym-client over its control WebSocket (~4/3 again). The combined
// ~1.78x inflation is bounded above by nym-client's own hardcoded 16MB
// WebSocket message limit, not by anything in this codebase, so this
// buffer (and the nginx/http-layer cap) must stay well under 16MB / 1.78
// once the second layer is applied. 11MB here keeps the second-layer
// base64 (~14.7MB) with real margin below the 16MB nym-client ceiling,
// which works out to a safe raw file size of roughly 8MB, not 10MB.
