## Message

```
agent: Warn about long skill descriptions (#58356)

Closes #58046 
Closes AI-353

Skills with descriptions over the 1024-byte limit now load with a
warning instead of failing. The warning appears in the thread footer
with clickable skill file rows, and the skill picker keeps the skill
icon while showing a right-aligned warning badge whose hover text
explains the issue.

Warning for single out-of-spec skill

Release Notes:

- Allow loading skills whose descriptions exceed the 1024-byte limit by
showing warnings instead of failing to load them.
