Three ways the streaming git read could still hold or hang more than it should, all found reviewing #239's implementation. A stream is answered by pushes, so neither of the failure paths the rest of the client relies on covers it: the request deadline was satisfied by the immediate `Unit` reply, and keepalive watches the link, which stays up while a server-side git wedges on a network filesystem. The reader parked forever, on one of a small pool of blocking threads, and the diff probe it belonged to never released its per-repo claim — so that repository's overlay and Changes panel were stuck on "Loading…" for the life of the process. `git_lines` now waits `GIT_STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT` between chunks. Between, not across: a slow-but-alive read must be allowed to take as long as it takes, which is why a total deadline would be the wrong instrument. Draining moved to `drain_git_stream` so all three exits are reachable from a test without waiting out two minutes. "Incremental" bounded the number of allocations but not the size of any one of them: a line is only complete at its newline, so a work tree with a minified bundle rebuilt the whole-output peak inside `LineSplitter`, on both ends of a remote link and in the server's outgoing batch. Lines are now capped at `MAX_LINE`, and what is cut says so in the line itself rather than silently shortening a rendered diff. That also bounds the server batch, which makes `GIT_STREAM_CHUNK_MAX` a frame backstop rather than the only thing standing between a bundle and a 32 MiB payload. Finally, `GitStream` is the one request that spawns a thread outside the bounded worker pool, so nothing counted them. `MAX_CONCURRENT_GIT_STREAMS` per connection now does, with the slot returned by a guard so a refusal, a failed spawn and a panicking read all give it back — a leaked slot would be a permanent refusal, not a transient one.

Why
- Fast — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Sessions persist — quit or reboot; your shells keep running, no tmux
- Editor-grade input — completion, syntax highlighting, history search built in; zero config for zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell
- Agent-aware — recognizes Claude Code & co. in a pane: status, notifications, session resume
