Description

Describe the solution you'd like

Today if failure proto is too large server side, they truncate it and wrap in server error. See if there's something we can do client side before the failure is sent to limit its size. Probably needs to be opt-out too since server-side failure size limits can be customizable for self-hosted users.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the Ruby SDK sends an oversized failure proto to the server. Determine where client-side size limiting could occur and how an opt-out would account for customizable self-hosted server limits. Done means oversized failures are handled client-side without unwanted server wrapping, while preserving an opt-out path.
