Environment

ESLint version: v9.32.0

What did you do?

Merged #252.

What did you expect to happen?

GitHub Actions workflows should complete without errors.

What actually happened?

The release-please workflow failed because of the release announcement on Bluesky could not be posted. See https://github.com/eslint/rewrite/actions/runs/16827981932/job/47668814498.
This happened because the text of the announcement was too long. The output shows:

❌ Bluesky failed.
Error: 400 Bad Request: Failed to post message:

Additional comments

To fix this problem, we could for example split the announcement into multiple posts when the text is too long.

Alternatively, we could post a shortened version of the announcement with just a single link to the release-please pull request.

I suspect this is more likely a glitch with the Bluesky API. Twitter has a shorter message length than Bluesky, so it doesn't make sense that it would work for Twitter and fail on Bluesky.

I'd say let's wait and see if it happens again before trying to do anything.
