Brooklyn Nicholson 0138282f97 perf(desktop): keep oversized messages from freezing the chat
A multi-MB message (logged bundle, huge tool dump) froze the renderer
before any paint: Streamdown runs `preprocess` + `marked` lex over the
whole string synchronously in a useMemo, an uninterruptible long task
that no try/catch or content-visibility can help (our JS runs before the
browser ever skips layout). Tiered fix:

- Message gate: past 200KB, bypass markdown entirely and render the raw
  text in `content-visibility:auto` line-chunks — synchronous work is
  bounded to a string split, the browser virtualizes layout natively,
  and every line stays in the DOM (selectable, find-in-page).
- Code-block budget: past 3k lines / 150KB, skip Shiki (which emits a
  span per token) and render plain, chunked the same way.
- Collapse/expand: a reusable ExpandableBlock clamps code blocks and the
  huge-text fallback to a 120px preview with a gradient + chevron,
  expanding to 300px. The inner element is always a scroll container so
  the content-visibility chunks stay lazily laid out in both states.

No content is ever dropped; the copy button (card header) always yields
the full block.
