Current Behavior

Two issues in the task-history life cycle's flaky-task summary:

1. Missing count — the plural-case title rendered with two consecutive spaces and no number:

> NX  Nx detected  flaky tasks

  myproject:test
  otherproject:e2e

(Singular rendered correctly as Nx detected a flaky task.)

2. Unbounded list — when many tasks were flagged (e.g. a Gradle suite that detects all of its targets as flaky), the full list filled the terminal viewport.

Expected Behavior

Plural title shows the true count, and long lists truncate to a manageable preview:

> NX  Nx detected 8 flaky tasks

  myproject:test
  otherproject:e2e
  thirdproject:lint
  fourthproject:build
  fifthproject:e2e
  3 more...

Root Cause (count fix)

Both task-history-life-cycle.ts and the legacy task-history-life-cycle-old.ts had:

title: `Nx detected ${
  this.flakyTasks.length === 1 ? 'a flaky task' : ' flaky tasks'
}`,

The plural branch is a literal ' flaky tasks' string with a leading space and no count interpolation — so the template renders Nx detected + ' flaky tasks' = Nx detected flaky tasks (two spaces, no number).

Fixes

1. Title interpolation — replace the plural literal with `${this.flakyTasks.length} flaky tasks` so the count appears between the leading space and the word flaky. Singular wording is unchanged. Applied symmetrically in both life-cycle files.

2. List truncation (per AgentEnder's review feedback) — cap the printed body at 5 entries with a N more... collapse row when flakyTasks.length > 6. The title still shows the true total. Behavior matrix:

Applied symmetrically in both life-cycle files.

Tests

No existing unit test covers printFlakyTasksMessage()'s formatted output (the surrounding life cycles don't have a *.spec.ts). Adding one would require mocking the task-history daemon channel and life-cycle hooks — out of scope for a small formatting tweak. The change is small enough to verify by inspection of the diff.
