Description

For workflow names that are long, the current behaviour is to truncate the name when listing on the project dashboard or on the workflow canvas.

We want users to be able to see the full names of the workflow. This might require us having a max character for the names of workflows and extending table widths and adding tooltips where necessary.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the dashboard workflow listing and workflow canvas entry points, then inspect where long names are truncated. Done means full workflow names are visible in both places, with any agreed character limit, wider tables, or tooltips applied where needed.
