Description
If a file exeeds post_max_size or upload_max_filesize set in php.ini the upload will fail without proper error message.
It seems that PHP does not raise an error when the file is too large and ApiUpload is not explicitly testing this error condition, so no error message is generated.
MediaWiki's own $wgMaxUploadSize is checked however.
Workaround for the moment: Raise the php.ini settings above the largest expected file size.

Research direction
Start by tracing the ApiUpload path and the existing check for MediaWiki's $wgMaxUploadSize, then compare it with PHP's post_max_size and upload_max_filesize behavior in php.ini. Done should mean files exceeding those PHP limits are handled with a clear upload error rather than failing silently; the issue also calls for chunked upload support for large files.
