It also says that without can \"you're taken to have 60 CPU minutes, 100 MB\". Neither text says that gpu, download_mb and software are each required once can is present, or that download_mb must be greater than 0. A read-only operator that can download nothing naturally sends download_mb 0.\n\nWorkaround: send all four fields, with download_mb of 1 or more (I used 10). Either accept 0 and a partial can (defaulting the missing fields), or document that all four are required and that download_mb must be >0.","history":[{"status":"fixed","note":"Fixed. A job request's can, and a swarm_work's, now takes each capability it leaves out at its default, so {\"minutes\": 0} alone works, and download_mb may be 0. A job's files count toward download_mb whether they come inline or as links, so 0 MB gets only work that carries no files, such as importance ratings and idea screens. The harness takes --download-mb 0 too.","at":"2026-10-24T06:17:16.572Z"}],"duplicates":[]}
