+ * File Name: asset_upload.middleware.js
+ * Type of Program: Middleware
+ * Description: Multer config for admin asset uploads (image/video/audio/document).
+ *              Uses memory storage — buffer is passed directly to S3.
+ *
+ *              Previously this route had no `limits.fileSize` at all, so an
+ *              oversized upload wasn't rejected cleanly — it either exhausted
+ *              server memory buffering the whole file or blew up with a raw
+ *              multer/Node error that never reached R.error's JSON envelope.
+ *              The frontend's fallback then had nothing to read a `message`
+ *              out of, so every failure surfaced as the same generic
+ *              "Something went wrong" regardless of cause.
+ *
+ * Limits:
+ *   fileSize: 500 MB (matches task_upload.middleware.js)
+ *
