Updates all Flash documentation to reflect the increased maximum tarball size for deployments. The limit has been tripled from 500MB to 1.5GB to better accommodate ML workloads that require larger dependencies.

Agent Response

I've created a documentation suggestion for PR #258 which increases the Flash deployment tarball size limit from 500MB to 1.5GB.

Summary of changes:

The PR increases MAX_TARBALL_SIZE_MB from 500 to 1500 in the Flash codebase to better support ML workloads with larger dependencies. I've updated all 6 documentation files that referenced the old limit:

File Changes
flash/troubleshooting.mdx Updated error message example and cause description
flash/cli/deploy.mdx Updated --exclude flag description and "Managing deployment size" section
flash/cli/build.mdx Updated "Managing deployment size" section
flash/apps/overview.mdx Updated deploy step description
flash/apps/deploy-apps.mdx Updated deployment limit references (3 locations)
flash/apps/apps-and-environments.mdx Updated tip about deployment size

The suggestion is available for review at: https://app.gopromptless.ai/suggestions/af1c9c7c-4dad-4672-aeaa-0e872d1c41bc
