what operating limitations did he exceed?
does anyone have that info as fact ? or is this all speculation?

As a maintenance guy, with loads of component overhaul experience, I only have unscheduled inspections from Chapter 05-50 that I can refer to when there is an incident. To date, I dont believe I have found an elusive manual for inspections after crazy flying.
if there is no recorded overtorque, no recorded overspeed, no chip lights, no sudden stoppage, or loss of oil, no hard landing, etc....then I have nothing further to inspect as Airbus has already deemed the aircraft capable of handling the flight envelope flown with-in those parameters. There isn't some magical manual that I refer to for Pilot operating like a nut.
I have to trust their engineering department has created a robust design that is capable of handing X amount of overstress from published limits.
