Research direction

Start by reviewing the report’s upgrade path from CouchDB 3.1 to 3.2.2 and the example database growth from 4 GB to 256 GB in four days. Reproduce the behavior if possible, then compare database size before and after compaction; the missing reproduction steps and environment details must be established before the issue can be considered resolved.
