Prompts that exceed a length limit are skipped, with a warning (`adopt_cron_prompt_too_long`), instead of being adopted and run as before.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis prevents overly long scheduled prompts from being picked up and run, avoiding whatever problem an oversized prompt would otherwise cause.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
