Problem

pkg/gitea/rest.go caps error response bodies at ~8 KB before formatting them into the error message. When Gitea returns a helpful multi-KB error (e.g. validation errors on bulk operations), the useful part may be silently cut. Callers get a half-message with no signal that more was available.

Suggested direction

When truncation happens, append a clear marker like ... [truncated, original NNN bytes]
Log a Warn with the full byte count
Consider raising the cap to ~32 KB specifically for error bodies (responses are usually well under that)
