Schema consistency analysis identified missing maxLength constraints on core workflow metadata fields, allowing unbounded input that could cause issues with GitHub Actions processing.
Changes
name: maxLength 256 (consistent with GitHub Actions workflow name limits)description: maxLength 10,000 (reasonable upper bound for YAML comments)tracker-id: maxLength 128 (balances searchability with practical identifier length)Validation

Test coverage added for boundary conditions (at-limit and over-limit values) for all three fields.
