+"""Eager writer BigTIFF auto-detection uses exact IFD overhead.
+
+Regression for issue #1905. The eager writer previously decided
+BigTIFF with a fixed-fudge estimate:
+
+    ifd_overhead = num_levels * (2 + 12 * max_tags_per_ifd + 4 + 1024)
+
+The 1 KB constant under-promoted near the 4 GiB boundary when
+``gdal_metadata_xml`` or ``extra_tags`` pushed the actual overflow
+heap past it. The fix reuses ``_compute_classic_ifd_overhead`` from
+the streaming writer (added in #1785, #1787) so eager and streaming
+paths agree on the estimate.
+
+Tests cover three angles:
+
+* ``_compute_classic_ifd_overhead`` reports exactly the bytes
+  ``_build_ifd`` emits.
+* When the eager writer is called with a large ``gdal_metadata_xml``,
+  the actual on-disk IFD bytes match the new estimate (and exceed
+  the old 1 KB fudge).
+* Round-tripping the file through the parser still works, so the
+  fix did not perturb tag emission.
