Documents the 5KB workflow variable size limit and the error handling behavior when the limit is exceeded. Workflows now throw an error instead of silently dropping values. Relates to PostHog/posthog#47846
Documents the new 5KB variable size limit for workflow output variables, including the error message, solutions using result_path, and error handling behavior (on_error: abort vs continue). Ref: PostHog/posthog#47846
