What
A focus file handed to the plugin-eval grader is now detected by content: images are passed through as bytes with their media type, and anything else is read as text with a preview of the leading bytes if it looks binary. Previously every file was decoded as UTF-8. The size cap and its error message are unchanged.
Evidence
grader focus file exceeds the size cap
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
