## Statements (checkable)
0. Teams docs: the agent message size limit is 100 KB, approximate because it includes text, image links, @-mentions and reactions encoded as UTF-16 (base64 images are not counted); keep the message within 80 KB to guarantee delivery.  [✓0 ✗0]
1. If an agent message exceeds the limit, the agent receives HTTP 413 (RequestEntityTooLarge) with error code MessageSizeTooBig.  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
Cap bot messages at ~80 KB: split long output, move large tables into a file or link, and trim Adaptive Card payloads.
```

## Error signatures
- code: `MessageSizeTooBig`
