x-openItems:
- The exact code/message strings for the 422, 429, and 500 responses are unconfirmed. The standard error envelope shape is modeled, but the literal `code`/`message` values were not verified against production.
- Nullability of the numeric response fields (original_size, original_height, original_width, final_size, bytes_saved, final_height, final_width) is assumed generously per convention G and needs production confirmation.
- CORS support is unknown and was not verified.
- Whether the `/url` and `/upload` endpoints truly accept GET is assumed. The docs only show POST/--data style requests for `/url` and POST multipart for `/upload`; GET operations are modeled per convention D but are unverified against the documented examples.
- The GET-side `resize` encoding for `/url` (passing the resize options as a JSON-encoded query value) is assumed and unverified; the docs only show resize supplied via the POST body.
- The free-plan rate limit (commonly described as 1 request per second) is unconfirmed against the docs/backend and is therefore not asserted in the 429 response description.
- The processed-image download URL retention ('available for 1 day') needs confirmation against the docs/backend.
