## Title

    Proposed fix: [LlamaIndex SentenceSplitter / IngestionPipeline] ValueError 'Metadata length (N) is longer than chunk size (M)' - metadata tokens are subtracted from every chunk, using the longer of em

## Body

    Recommended action: Shrink metadata that is included in both modes: add large keys to BOTH excluded_embed_metadata_keys and excluded_llm_metadata_keys (or move them out of metadata), or increase chunk_size; alternatively set include_metadata=False on the splitter.
    
    Option: Exclude large keys from both metadata modes or raise chunk_size [evidence: documented_workaround]
    Applies when: Any metadata-aware splitter
    Steps:
    1. doc.excluded_embed_metadata_keys = [...big keys]
    2. doc.excluded_llm_metadata_keys = [...big keys]
    3. or SentenceSplitter(chunk_size=larger)
    4. or SentenceSplitter(include_metadata=False)
    Expected: Effective chunk size positive; normal chunking
