The new instructions say to "find all open Dependabot PRs" and create bundle issues for each runtime+manifest, but safe-outputs enforce hard caps (update-project max=50, create-issue max=20). If there are more PRs/bundles than allowed, the agent can’t complete the stated objective and may produce partial/failed runs. Consider updating the bullets to explicitly respect these limits (e.g., process up to the max and prioritize security/oldest first, and/or create a single summary issue when limits are exceeded).
