Haha, funny ;). But with the current state of the cake correcting for hard_header_len, while this is not guaranteed to be the overhead the kernel adds to skb->Len; I would claim cake is not idiot proof, but rather has a very tricky default mode...
I do add that reporting max_len_after_overhead_accounting in addition to max_len would have made it much more likely to catch this behaviour much earlier...

Best Regards & happy holidays
