## Issue
Closes#47290
Also implements the "Cap free-text `maxLength` to the backend column
length" pattern established in [#49041 (patterns.md
thread)](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/pull/49041/files#r3572648691).
## Description
Fleet name inputs had no `maxLength` cap and no service-layer length
check, so a name >255 chars failed with a raw MySQL `Data too long`
error, and several UI surfaces didn't handle long names gracefully. This
PR fixes all four manifestations called out in the bug, plus a related
label-overflow case on the host details page, and hardens adjacent name
inputs across the app.
**Frontend fixes for #47290:**
- Create/Rename fleet name inputs now cap at 255 characters (matches
`teams.name varchar(255)`).
- Fleets table Name column uses `LinkCell` with `tooltipTruncate` +
`className="w400"` so long names truncate with an ellipsis and full-name
tooltip instead of overflowing across the Hosts/Users columns.
- Fleet-detail page header (`.team-details__team-header`): h1 gets
`overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;`,
`__team-details` gets `min-width: 0; flex: 1`, and `.action-buttons`
gets `flex-shrink: 0` + `white-space: nowrap` on buttons so *Manage
enroll secrets / Rename / Delete* no longer wrap to a second line when
the fleet name is long.
- Manage enroll secrets modal body — `__description` gets
`overflow-wrap: anywhere; min-width: 0` so a long `<b>{fleet name}</b>`
wraps within the modal instead of spilling out the right edge.
**Backend fixes for #47290:**
- New `fleet.MaxTeamNameLength = 255` constant.
- `NewTeam`, `ModifyTeam`, and `ApplyTeamSpecs` now return
`fleet.NewInvalidArgumentError("name", "may not exceed 255 characters")`
instead of surfacing a raw `Data too long` MySQL error. Covers UI, API,
and GitOps entry points.
**Broader consistency pass (per [#49041
thread](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/pull/49041/files#r3572648691)):**
- New shared `MAX_ENTITY_CHAR_LENGTH = 255` constant in
`frontend/utilities/constants.tsx`.
- Refactored 8 existing files that had ad-hoc `NAME_MAX_LENGTH = 255` /
`MAX_LABEL_NAME_LENGTH = 255` locals to use it.
- Slotted it into 16 additional `InputField` name/description inputs
that were missing a cap (API user, custom variable, certificate, label
name + description, pack name + description, and all 5 CA forms —
CustomEST, CustomSCEP, Smallstep, Digicert, Hydrant).
- Pruned dead FE length validators that can no longer fire now that the
DOM cap enforces the limit (certificate modal, custom variable modal,
both label helpers, both category modals). Unusual/shorter caps (e.g.
`varchar(64)`, custom business rules) still keep their inline validators
— silent truncation is only appropriate for the common 255-char norm.
**Bonus:** fixed the long-label overflow on the host details Labels card
by capping the pill button `max-width` at 300px.

## Testing
- [x] Added/updated automated tests
- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually
Test coverage:
- `CreateFleetModal.tests.tsx`, `RenameFleetModal.tests.tsx` — new case
per file asserting the name input's `maxLength === 255`.
- `AddCertificateModal.tests.tsx`, `Variables.tests.tsx` — the existing
"shows too-long error when pasting 256 chars" tests are now unreachable
via the DOM cap; converted to `maxLength === 255` assertions.
- `ee/server/service/teams_test.go` — `TestNewTeamNameValidation`,
`TestModifyTeamNameValidation`, and `TestApplyTeamSpecsNameValidation`
each get two new cases (accepts at the limit, rejects one over with the
expected error message).

* **Tests**
* Added coverage for character limits, boundary values, and multibyte
names.

**Related issue:** Resolves#49276
**New features**
- Added new "Secondary" (bordered, off-white fill) and "Subdued"
(borderless, low-emphasis) button variants to match the Figma spec,
alongside the existing Primary style.
- Allowed rows to be selected in Controls > OS updates.
**Cleanup**
- Once nothing referenced the old styles anymore, fully removed the old
`text-icon`, `brand-inverse-icon`, `inverse-alert`, `inverse`, and
`icon` button variants (type, styles, and Storybook entries) from the
shared `Button` component.
- Removed the `iconStroke` prop, which had become a no-op once the old
variants it supported were gone.
- Renamed `ActionsDropdown`'s variants
(`button`/`brand-button`/`small-button`) to
`subdued`/`primary`/`secondary` to match the same naming used everywhere
else.
- Replaced a one-off dropdown implementation on the Software title page
with the shared `ActionsDropdown` component, instead of maintaining
duplicate styling logic.
- Changed the button name on Host details > Reports > Report details
from "View data for all hosts" to "View report for all hosts" (to match
the previous page's Actions drop-down options).

## Testing
- [ ] Added/updated automated tests
- [ ] Where appropriate, [automated tests simulate multiple hosts and
test for host
isolation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/reference/patterns-backend.md#unit-testing)
(updates to one hosts's records do not affect another)
- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually
Tested with fleet maintained apps and VPP in UI and gitops
For unreleased bug fixes in a release candidate, one of:
- [ ] Confirmed that the fix is not expected to adversely impact load
test results
- [ ] Alerted the release DRI if additional load testing is needed
## Database migrations
N/A since this is just editing the existing migration
- [ ] Checked schema for all modified table for columns that will
auto-update timestamps during migration.
- [ ] Confirmed that updating the timestamps is acceptable, and will not
cause unwanted side effects.
- [ ] Ensured the correct collation is explicitly set for character
columns (`COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci`).
## New Fleet configuration settings
- [ ] Setting(s) is/are explicitly excluded from GitOps
If you didn't check the box above, follow this checklist for
GitOps-enabled settings:
- [x] Verified that the setting is exported via `fleetctl
generate-gitops`
- [ ] Verified the setting is documented in a separate PR to [the GitOps
documentation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Configuration/yaml-files.md#L485)
- [x] Verified that the setting is cleared on the server if it is not
supplied in a YAML file (or that it is documented as being optional)
- newly added custom category, or default category, was cleared if was
not in the yaml file
- [ ] Verified that any relevant UI is disabled when GitOps mode is
enabled
