Invoice Uploads Over 2 MB Fail With 413

Since this morning's 2.4.0 deploy, invoice uploads larger than 2 MB are rejected with HTTP 413.

Briefing

Finance teams started reporting failed invoice uploads at 09:10, right after 2.4.0 went out.

Small PDFs still work; anything above 2 MB comes back 413 Request Entity Too Large.

The release smoke test in /home/user/invoice-api fails on main.

The new request timing middleware is the first suspect in the channel.

The fix is yours to find: hints, the recovery checks and the debrief unlock inside the incident.
