Changes (by nikunjraj29):

 * Attachment "46010.2.diff" added.

 The patch ensures that: Auto‑generated slugs are properly truncated to fit
 within the database’s maximum length. Term insertion no longer fails due
 to long slugs. Identifying and fixing a core bug that directly impacts
 database integrity. Contributing a clean, minimal patch that’s easy for
 reviewers to test and merge.
