* fix: write stats file in chunks to avoid Electron UTF-8 abort
orca-stats.json gains an event on every agent start/stop. After about a
month of use mine had grown to ~3.6k events / ~608 KB, and the app started
hard-crashing a few seconds after every launch (SIGTRAP, no catchable JS
stack):
Assertion failed: (length + 1) <= (capacity())
node::MaybeStackBuffer<char>::SetLengthAndZeroTerminate <- node::Utf8Value
The crash is in StatsCollector.writeToDiskSync(), which saves the whole
file in one writeFileSync(JSON.stringify(data)). Electron 42.3.2's bundled
Node aborts when encoding a string that large to UTF-8 in a single write;
stock Node 24 handles the same file fine and the data is well-formed, so
it's an Electron/Node encoding limit, not bad data. The save runs on a
debounce after agent_start, which restored agents fire on launch -- so it
crashed right after opening.
Write the JSON in 64 KB slices through one fd instead (never splitting a
surrogate pair), and lower MAX_EVENTS 10k -> 1k so the file can't grow back
this large. Lifetime aggregates are unaffected.
Verified by reproducing the abort standalone with the real 608 KB file
under ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE, confirming the chunked writer round-trips it
byte-for-byte with no crash, and running a patched build that loads the
file without crashing. The underlying encode abort is an Electron/Node bug
to report upstream.
* fix: harden stats JSON writes
* fix: chunk app state UTF-8 writes
* fix: stabilize status and terminal polling
