follow-up max_context_turns must be between 1 and 5

Error message

follow-up max_context_turns must be between 1 and 5

What it means

Configuration validation in QuestionSuggestionConfig.Validate: FollowUps.MaxContextTurns is outside 1–5. This setting bounds how many conversation turns may be fed into follow-up generation; out-of-range values are rejected before use so context assembly can never consume an unbounded history.
