Description
### Impacted plugin
Social
### What
Currently, Jetpack Social automatically generates post excerpts when sharing content, but there is no built-in option to customize the excerpt length (e.g., setting a max number of words or characters). This can lead to inconsistencies in post previews across different platforms.
### How
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
No file, entry point, or test is named in the issue; begin by locating Jetpack Social’s excerpt-generation code and its tests. Define acceptance criteria for configurable word or character limits and consistent previews across platforms before implementation.
