Long Artifact content is now truncated by keeping both a head and tail portion at a paragraph break, instead of a plain cutoff

What

When an Artifact's content is too long to return in full, Claude Code now truncates it with a new function that grows its search window until it finds a natural paragraph break, then keeps both a piece from the start and a piece from the end of the content. This replaces the previous approach of just cutting the content off directly.

Why

This should produce more readable truncated Artifact content, since it preserves both the beginning and end of the document and cuts along paragraph boundaries rather than mid-sentence.
