I found some similar issues that might be helpful:

• Failed to compile template: Invalid string length #739 - Failed to compile template: Invalid string length - This issue also involves string length limitations when processing large repositories, though it manifests as a template compilation error rather than directly hitting the JavaScript string limit.

• Feature Request: Allow setting a maximum size (in MB) for files that will be packed #437 - Feature Request: Allow setting a maximum size (in MB) for files that will be packed - Proposes adding a file size limit configuration option which could help prevent hitting the JavaScript string limit by filtering out large files before processing.

These might provide additional context or potential solutions for handling large repository outputs.
