Adds a new FAQ entry under the Capabilities section: "How do I write large content (like a wiki page) from an agentic workflow?"

What changed

New FAQ entry covering two related topics:

  1. Recommended approach: tools: repo-memory with wiki: true — purpose-built for writing wiki pages. The agent writes files directly to the wiki git repo, bypassing the body size limit entirely.

  2. Custom safe output jobs: Documents the framework's [Content too large, saved to file: <filename>] behavior and provides a robust JavaScript helper pattern for custom jobs that must receive large content.

Why

Source issue: github/agentic-workflows#491

An OSS maintainer (aspire project) hit the inline body size limit in their custom safe output job that writes wiki pages. The workaround they discovered works, but the pattern wasn't documented anywhere and the better solution (repo-memory: wiki: true) wasn't surfaced. This FAQ entry makes both the proper solution and the workaround discoverable.

Type of change

New entry (no existing entry covers this topic).

Add a new FAQ entry under the Capabilities section covering:
- Using repo-memory with wiki: true as the recommended way to write wiki pages
  (avoids body size limits entirely by using file-based writes)
- The '[Content too large, saved to file:]' behavior for custom safe output jobs
  and a robust helper pattern for resolving file-referenced content fields
