Request to make Bash line output configurable #1868
Description
I recently saw this change 6aa157c which would limit bash outputs to 1000 lines.
I feel it could be a problem for people working on Gradle Project.
Gradle, the build system, has a tendency to spew out everything which has its own pros and cons but I am very certain that building a fresh project or running tests on any midsize or above project would be affected by this change.
Assumption: I am under assumption that truncating output would also truncate information which is fed to the LLM/model. If the information fed to the model is unaffected then please feel free to just close this request.

i just tweaked it a bit to be a total character limit which is set to 30_000
we can make this configurable...but LLM context windows really get blown out past this point. Do you feel confident it needs all the output?

So I have added these flag by default
--quiet --warning-mode nonewhen I am building my projects, which suppresses a lot of "debug" output.But when tests and builds are failing we would likely need those extra lines since gradle spews things in sequential order and errors are usually at the end.
The check you have put is really useful almost always I'd say. But when we want to debug or resolve things, we might need those extra chars / lines.
