feat: remove unnecessary 5-operation limit from n8n_update_partial_workflow
The 5-operation limit was overly conservative and unnecessary. Analysis showed: - Workflow is cloned before modifications (no original mutation) - All operations validated before any are applied (true atomicity) - First error causes immediate return (no partial state possible) - Two-pass processing handles dependencies correctly Changes: - Remove hard-coded 5-operation limit check from workflow-diff-engine.ts - Update tool descriptions and documentation to reflect unlimited operations - Add tests verifying 50 and 100+ operations work successfully - Add example showing 26 operations in single request The system already ensures complete transactional integrity regardless of operation count. Bottleneck is workflow size, not operation count. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

}

```
|
||||
|

This example shows 26 operations in a single request, creating a complete data processing pipeline with proper error handling, validation, and batch processing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use Descriptive Names**: Always provide clear node names and descriptions for operations
