Build scan badge is too small in Job Summary

[gabrielfeo]

When "requested tasks" is big, the “Build scan: Publlished” badge becomes quite small. Since you already truncate "requested tasks" (related: #35), you may want to truncate it further so that the badge is more readable. I imagine having the Gradle logo this small also hurts your brand guidelines. Repro: gabrielfeo/develocity-api-kotlin#232 (comment)

This is a very minor suggestion, so feel free to close this issue if you disagree :)

I agree. I just haven't found the right combination of Markdown/HTML to render nicely on GitHub. (GitHub seems to ignore any column width settings).

If you'd like to help out, you could experiment with this easily by manually editing the comment in the PR and using Preview. But we need something that renders well at most windows sizes, which is tricky!

After playing around a bit, one simple solution would be to truncate just a bit further and reduce the amount of text in the badge. What do you think?

Truncated to 60 + badge with label (current)

I like the reduced text in the badge. I think if we combine this with changing the column header to Build Scan we won't need to truncate further. (We could do more truncation, but it's not required to make the badge visible).

WDYT?
