<p dir="auto">I am the developer behind a private plugin called <strong>Transmission Line Risk Analysis Assistant</strong> (<em>windy-plugin-transmission-risk</em>). It is an advanced meteorological risk analysis tool for electrical power grids, calculating ice load, wind, and flashover risks based on CIGRE standards.</p>
<p dir="auto">Until recently, my GitHub Actions deployment workflow (<code>publish-plugin</code>) was working perfectly. However, while trying to push my latest updates (v1.0.5 / v1.0.6), the deployment started failing consistently with an HTTP 500 error from the Windy API.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>The Error Log from GitHub Actions:</strong></p>
<pre><code class="language-text">--- WINDY API RESPONSE ---
We are sorry, but something broke.
HTTP_STATUS:500
--------------------------
ERROR: Upload failed with status 500
Error: Process completed with exit code 1
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Troubleshooting steps I've already taken:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Version Bumping:</strong> I suspected the <code>v1.0.5</code> payload might have gotten stuck or corrupted in the database during the first failed upload, so I bumped the version to <code>v1.0.6</code> and triggered a fresh build. The exact same 500 error occurred.</li>
<li><strong>Local Build Checks:</strong> My local builds (<code>npm run build</code>) and quality gates are completely green. The <code>.tar</code> package is being generated correctly.</li>
<li><strong>API Key Verification:</strong> I verified that the <code>WINDY_API_KEY</code> is intact and correct.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>My Suspicions / Questions:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Bundle Size Limit?</strong> Because this tool performs heavy engineering calculations and generates PDF reports/advanced charts, it relies on libraries like <code>jspdf</code> and <code>chart.js</code>. As a result, my compiled <code>plugin.js</code> bundle size is around <strong>2.7 MB</strong>. Did you recently introduce a strict file size limit on the API endpoint that causes the server to drop the connection and throw a 500 error instead of a 4xx validation error?</li>
<li><strong>Temporary Outage?</strong> Is there a known issue or maintenance happening with <code>node.windy.com</code> regarding the plugin upload endpoints?</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Could someone from the team please take a look or provide some guidance on what might be causing this block?</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you for your time and for the great platform!</p>
<p dir="auto">Best regards,<br />
