Cap translation-status PR comment below GitHub's size limit - #48
Merged
Conversation
GitHub rejects issue-comment bodies over 65536 characters with HTTP 422. A PR touching many English pages produces a with-diff report far beyond that (392 kB on a 10-page PR), which failed the check. When the report exceeds the limit, post the summary without diffs and point at the job summary, which still carries the full report. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Why
The Translation Status workflow posts its report as a PR comment. GitHub rejects issue-comment bodies over 65,536 characters with HTTP 422, and a PR touching many English pages produces a with-diff report far beyond that — 392 kB on the 10-page #47, which failed the check on every push.
How
When
comment.mdexceeds 60,000 bytes, regenerate it without--diff(274 bytes for the same PR) and append a pointer to the job summary, which already carries the full report with diffs. Verified locally against the #47 page set.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
