WRK-21 — DrainEvents was bounded by event count only, so a byte-heavy queue (large string/array MxValues) built a reply above the negotiated frame maximum: the writer rejected the frame, the exception unwound the session, and the events already dequeued were destroyed. The drain is now byte-budgeted inside the queue lock, so an event is dequeued only once it is known to fit and one that does not stays at the head. Truncation is reported through the reply's existing DiagnosticMessage (no contract change); callers drain until an empty reply. Both reply-write seams — the control-command path and ProcessCommandAsync — now catch MessageTooLarge and answer the correlation with an InvalidRequest reply instead of unwinding or faulting the session. Satisfies IPC-23 R1-R3. WRK-28 — the 10,000 drain ceiling moves to GatewayContractInfo .MaxDrainEventsPerCommand, referenced by both the gateway request validator and the worker clamp, replacing a comment-only sync contract. C# const only; no .proto change. WRK-23 — WorkerFrameWriter now peek-stamps, validates, then commits the sequence counter immediately before the stream write, so a per-frame rejection leaves no phantom gap on the wire. IPC-30 — an oversized event frame stays session-fatal (it is undeliverable end to end and neither dropping nor synthesizing a replacement is allowed), but the death is structured: the event's identity and sizes are logged (never its value), a WorkerFault with category PROTOCOL_VIOLATION and command method EventDrain is written, then the session exits as before. Docs updated in the same change: MxAccessWorkerInstanceDesign.md (drain byte cap, truncation contract, oversized-head behavior, oversized-event policy, no control reply is session-fatal on size), WorkerFrameProtocol.md (reply pre-sizing, non-fatal reply-size rule, oversized-event policy, rejected frames do not consume sequence numbers), gateway.md (DrainEvents two-axis bound).
