Free tier	Not a storage candidate at all: the AUR enforces a hard maximum blob size of 250 KiB per git object. The git hook rejects the push: 'remote: error: maximum blob size (250.00KiB) exceeded / remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master'. Config files around 250.8 KiB already trip it. unit mixed; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Limits	per-object-cap (binding) per-object-cap: 250 KiB source per-object-cap: 250 KiB (hard, server-side git hook). retention: indefinite for packages. request-rate: git push over ssh, per-key.
Identity	email (placeholder) not published
Egress	Free (plain git over SSH/HTTPS), but irrelevant given the cap.
Per-object cap	per-object-cap: 250 KiB (256000 bytes)
Retention	per-object-cap: 250 KiB (hard, server-side git hook). retention: indefinite for packages
Interface	ssh, git, rclone part of the text of Free tier, above
Tooling	git over ssh://aur.archlinux.org/<pkg>.git; AUR RPC v5 at /rpc/. No rclone backend (git is the interface).
Composes with	unlimited AUR packages x 250 KiB = useless for bulk. Content must be PKGBUILD + patches; large sources are fetched at build time by URL, never stored.
Reliability	Any 'AUR as storage' idea dies here.
Parsed numbers	has-free-tier 1 per-object-cap 250 KiB

unit note	free_tier.unit is 'mixed' because the headline is denominated in MiB or KiB, which the schema enum does not carry; the verbatim free_tier.stated keeps the true unit.
