Truncate string arguments displayed in failed jobs index - #265
Merged
Conversation
Long arguments make the job lists unreadable and push the actions out of view, so show at most 300 characters per job in the lists. The full arguments remain on the job's page. Co-authored-by: Rosa Gutierrez <rosa@37signals.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Description:
This PR truncates the string representation of job arguments in the failed jobs index view. When job arguments are very long, they can break the UI and make the job list hard to read. With this change, only the first 300 characters are shown in the index, while the full arguments remain visible in the job detail view.
Why:
This improves readability and usability. Currently, when job arguments are too long, the UI tends to break and requires excessive horizontal scrolling to perform actions like retry or discard, making the process tedious. Alternatively, users are forced to enter the job detail view just to take action, which is inefficient. Truncating the arguments in the index view makes it much easier to quickly navigate, scan, and manage failed jobs.
