Description

The recently added mechanism for the server to suggest workflow continue-as-new is based on history event length and byte size.
Users can hit other limits such as number of signals received and scheduled activities, the server suggestion should take those factors into account to help users out.

See for reference: https://github.com/temporalio/api/blob/ae312b0724003957b96fb966e3fe25a02abaade4/temporal/api/history/v1/message.proto#L180

Research direction

Start with the referenced temporal/api/history/v1/message.proto definition and trace the existing server mechanism that suggests continue-as-new. Determine how signal counts and scheduled-activity counts should be represented and evaluated; done means the suggestion accounts for those additional limits.
