Behaviour and limits

• 17-character VINs decode fully; partial VINs of 11+ characters are accepted for structural decoding.
• Each VIN is decoded upstream once, ever - after that it serves from our cache, so repeated integration calls are fast and place zero load on the government source.
• 20 requests/minute, 300/day per IP, no key needed.
• Responses are no-store; we do not log which client decoded which VIN.
• Build facts only: no ownership, title or accident data, ever.
