+// DeviantArt fronts its API with AWS CloudFront + WAF, which bans egress IPs that
+// hit it too hard. Under a bot flood, unbounded concurrent handlers each fetch
+// ~150-200 KB of DA JSON, which both hammers that IP (risking a ban) and can OOM
+// the process. devianter makes its requests with a bare &http.Client{}, so they go
+// through http.DefaultTransport — we wrap it here to bound the rate and concurrency
+// of calls to deviantart.com and to add timeouts. Requests to other hosts (e.g.
+// wixmp image CDN) are passed straight through, so media stays fast.
+//
+// http.ProxyFromEnvironment is preserved, so HTTPS_PROXY (VPN egress) still applies.
