CTO directive 2026-06-12: fix as a bug.

Symptom: every spec-length A2A delegation today (WS1, WS2, WS1b dispatches) arrived TRUNCATED mid-sentence at the receiver, silently — no error to sender or receiver. Workaround in use: manual chunking into numbered parts.

Expected: either (a) raise/remove the practical size limit for task/delegation payloads, or (b) FAIL LOUD: sender gets an error/oversize warning, receiver gets an explicit [TRUNCATED] marker. Silent truncation corrupts instructions — an agent executing half a spec is worse than one receiving an error.

Also file under the same fix: reply truncation on long agent responses (known: reference_agents_team_ops_playbook).

Acceptance: e2e test sending a >N-char delegation and asserting full delivery or loud failure; no silent cut.
