Description
### Summary
`eas deploy --prod` (EAS Hosting) consistently fails during the asset-upload step, immediately after `✔ Created deployment`, with:
```
The multipart part asset name is unexpected
Error: deploy command failed.
```
This is for a large static **Expo Router web export** (`npx expo export --platform web`): roughly **47,000+ HTML pages**, ~**49,000 total files**, ~**1.1–1.25 GB**.
### Reproduction / environment
- `eas-cli` 22.2.0 (also reproduced on latest via `npm install -g eas-cli`).
- Static web export deployed with `eas deploy --prod --non-interactive`.
### What we've verified
- **Deterministic, not a network issue**: fails identically from a local machine *and* from a GitHub Actions runner (stable network), every time, after a full upload (~30–40 min).
- Inspected the deployment manifest via `eas deploy --dry-run` (the `assets.json` inside `deploy.tar.gz`). It lists ~61k assets and is **clean**: no non-ASCII names, no quotes/control chars, no empty names, no duplicate hashes, no case-insensitive collisions, and no file/directory name clashes.
- Reduced file count from ~61k to ~49k (inlined per-page SVGs). **Still fails** with the same error.
### Questions
1. What are the actual limits for an EAS Hosting deployment — max number of files/assets and max total upload size?
2. Is `The multipart part asset name is unexpected` a known issue with the asset-batch upload for deployments with tens of thousands of files (a batch count/size ceiling)?
3. What's the recommended approach for deploying a large static site (47k+ pages) on EAS Hosting — a higher plan, a config change (`.easignore`, chunking), or is a site this size outside EAS Hosting's intended scale?
Happy to share the project ID privately with a maintainer. Thanks!
