[joshuasimon-taulia]

when running this example workflow step against an older repo with a lot of commits:

    - name: Release
      uses: softprops/action-gh-release@de2c0eb89ae2a093876385947365aca7b0e5f844 # v1
      with:
        tag_name: ${{ inputs.git-tag }}
        body_path: ../changelog.md
        token: ${{ env.GITHUB_TOKEN_ORG }}
        generate_release_notes: ${{ inputs.changelog == '' && true || false }}
        repository: ${{ github.repository }}

it fails with

Run softprops/action-gh-release@de2c0eb89ae2a093876385947365aca7b0e5f844

I would expect the action to truncate the body to 125000 characters
