☑️ Resolves
The "Daemon (Socket)" section of the antivirus page gives the wrong default for
Stream Length.It states 10485760 bytes, "ten megabytes". The actual default in
nextcloud/files_antivirusis26214400 (25 MiB), set as
AV_STREAM_MAX_LENGTHinlib/AppInfo/ConfigLexicon.php:So the documented figure is out by a factor of 2.5. It matters because the same paragraph advises
keeping the value below PHP's
memory_limit— an admin sizingmemory_limitagainst the documented10 MiB would under-provision for the real 25 MiB default.
Found while documenting ICAP mode (#15538), which needed the same setting's real value.
