Research direction

Start by locating the validation or creation entry points for Challenge titles and Task instructions in the Scala backend. Check how existing input constraints are tested, then enforce the requested limits of fewer than 50 characters for challenge titles and fewer than 300 for task instructions. Done means oversized values are rejected consistently and the relevant tests pass.
