A single stream-json stdin message now has a character budget and errors explicitly instead of buffering forever.

The CLI's stream-json stdin reader now enforces a maximum character budget for a single newline-terminated message. Exceeding it now surfaces an explicit error instead of buffering indefinitely, pointing to either a non-newline-terminated producer or a message that exceeded the budget.
