David decided: Parallelised prefetch without requiring extension upgrade

David set new prefetch concurrency targets and explicitly rejected any plan that required users to upgrade their browser extension.


After confirming prefetch was serial, David approved concurrency increases but drew a hard line on the extension.

wait it requires an extension upgrade? i dont wanna do that. what numbers do we use that dont require this

The final parameters were PREFETCH_ITEM_CONCURRENCY=6 and dispatcher lanes raised from 8 to 12. David also asked the agent to explain the PREFETCH_LIBREOFFICE_CONCURRENCY parameter — a container-level memory guard rather than a per-user limit — and accepted the explanation that it protects against RAM fan-out during parallel PPTX-to-PDF conversions.
