Subject: [PATCH] Truncate slack block text so it is not rejected by slack API
 (#5121)

# What this PR does
Truncates text for slack message to avoid this error:
```
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/slack_sdk/web/slack_response.py", line 199, in validate
    raise e.SlackApiError(message=msg, response=self)
slack_sdk.errors.SlackApiError: The request to the Slack API failed. (url: https://www.slack.com/api/chat.postMessage)
The server responded with: {'ok': False, 'error': 'invalid_blocks', 'errors': ['failed to match all allowed schemas [json-pointer:/blocks/0/text]', 'must be less than 3001 characters [json-pointer:/blocks/0/text/text]'], 'response_metadata': {'messages': ['[ERROR] failed to match all allowed schemas [json-pointer:/blocks/0/text]', '[ERROR] must be less than 3001 characters [json-pointer:/blocks/0/text/text]']}}
```
