Dedicated error when an API stream sends no first byte

A stream that never starts now gives a specific error with timings and a matchable code.

What

A stream that produces nothing within the first-byte window now raises a specific error rather than a generic timeout, and it carries the window length, how long was actually waited, and a stable error code you can match on.

Evidence

"No response from API within the first-byte window"

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
