the limit is a drone relict ... we should increase it to a bigger number :) -> 1000 ? (that should not limit most usecases anymore but prevent infinite loop stufff) |

This PR adds a documentation warning about the current matrix axis limit in Woodpecker.
Although the source code defines a limit of axes per workflow, this limitation is not mentioned in the docs.
This update clarifies why some entries in large matrix configurations may not trigger executions once the limit is reached, helping users avoid spending unnecessary time debugging their pipelines.
