Merge commit from fork

processSSEStream() appended every 4 KiB chunk to $sseBuffer and only
flushed on the "\n\n" SSE event delimiter. A server streaming data
without ever sending the delimiter grew the buffer without bound,
exhausting client memory (GHSA-7m52-jw36-44r3).

Cap the buffer (default 8 MiB, configurable via the constructor). When
appending the next chunk would exceed the cap before a complete event is
seen, abort the stream and resolve the in-flight request with an error
immediately, so the caller fails fast instead of spinning until its
request timeout.

Reimplements tonghuaroot's advisory fix: makes the cap configurable
rather than a hardcoded constant, fails the pending request fast instead
of relying on the timeout, and adds regression tests.
