## Motivation and Context CRuby's `IO#gets` without a limit reads until the next newline with no upper bound. A peer that never emits a newline can therefore grow a single String until the process is killed by the OS OOM killer. This is a denial-of-service exposure (GHSA-7683-3w9x-ch42), identified during a cross-SDK audit of the same unbounded-buffer pattern across the MCP SDKs. It is most relevant when a host application spawns a sandboxed or untrusted MCP server and pipes its stdout into an unconstrained host process, where a memory-capped peer can exhaust the host. Each frame is now capped at a configurable `max_line_bytes` (default 4 MiB, large enough for any realistic frame including base64-embedded images, and the value recommended in the advisory). A frame that reaches the limit without a newline is treated as a transport error: the client raises, and the server reports the error and closes the connection. A short final frame that ends at EOF without a trailing newline is still accepted, so legitimate traffic is unaffected. Both constructors validate `max_line_bytes:` as a positive Integer, since `nil` or a non-positive value makes `IO#gets` read without an upper bound and would silently disable the protection. ## How Has This Been Tested? Server tests cover the `open` read loop stopping and reporting on an over-limit frame, the `send_request` read loop raising on an over-limit response, and a valid final frame without a trailing newline still being processed. Client tests cover `read_response` raising on an over-limit response frame and a normal response still round-tripping within a custom `max_line_bytes`. Both transports also have tests rejecting invalid `max_line_bytes:` values (`nil`, zero, negative, non-Integer) with an `ArgumentError`. The full test suite and RuboCop pass. ## Breaking Changes None. The default 4 MiB limit is far larger than any realistic JSON-RPC frame, so existing well-behaved traffic is unaffected. The new `max_line_bytes:` keyword on both transport constructors is purely additive and optional.
