- ASes should only be limited per-room, not globally per-HS

Research direction

Start by reviewing the imported SPEC-143 discussion and the listed requirements about lazyloading, per-room limits, and AS/HS rate limiting. No repository files or tests are named; done would require a settled, precise specification of the intended rate-limiting behaviour.
