Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
SuggestContinueAsNew considers history size, event count, and updates but not signals. Workflows are hard-limited to maximumSignalsPerExecution (10,000).
With many small signals neither the byte nor event count threshold necessarily fires so the suggestion stays false and the workflow eventually errors with ErrSignalsLimitExceeded no hint to CAN. similar PR for update (update in #7247).
customers need to to track signal counts ourselves as a workaround.
