per-agency limits
Each awarding agency sets its own per-file formats and ceilings inside the opportunity instructions; Grants.gov publishes the package-level ceiling.
How we handle it: Keep every attachment PDF and under the agency instruction limit; treat the published 200 MB total as the hard system boundary.
