"Invalid" failure on label creation - max label length of 50 characters #260

Description

@helen

Getting an "invalid" response and failure on label creation, had to turn off accesslint for now: https://github.com/helen/wp-themes-a11y-scanning/actions/runs/32175148610

HttpError: Validation Failed: {"value":"accesslint rule: keyboard-accessible/scrollable-region","resource":"Label","field":"name","code":"invalid"} - https://docs.github.com/rest/issues/issues#create-an-issue

Not clear to me if it's something in the label name or if it thinks it's spam or something else. In this case I realistically would rather just turn off labels, so that's #245

    Weirdly our API docs specify a 100 character limit on label descriptions but I don't see a documented limit on the label name itself; however, the limit appears to be 50 characters and that would explain why this one fails. We should fix that.
