docs(spec): considering-state + transport timeout; park streaming

Pivot M2 anti-freeze from streaming to a lighter considering-state: a rotating
in-character 'the Master considers…' indicator (authored content, §13 spirit)
on the proven non-streaming loop, plus the HttpTransport request-timeout fix so
a hung call yields to the fallback instead of spinning forever. Meets §14's
anti-freeze goal by reframing the wait; near-zero new failure surface. Streaming
design PARKED (banner + roadmap ○), revisit if playtest shows the wait hurts.
Conscious §14 deviation recorded per §18.

# Narrator streaming (M2) — design
> **STATUS: PARKED (2026-07-10).** Deferred in favour of a lightweight
> considering-state (see `2026-07-10-considering-state-design.md`), which meets
> §14's anti-freeze *goal* by reframing the wait in-character rather than hiding
> it — for a fraction of the risk (this piece is the POC's largest transport
> rework and adds mid-stream error/tag-boundary failure surface that a
> "polish, not proof" feature shouldn't). Revisit only if playtesting shows the
> wait genuinely hurts immersion (long Narrator responses or a slow prod model).
> This design stays ready for that moment.

Milestone: **M2 — prove aliveness** (roadmap). The third M2 item; **polish, not
proof** — gated on the aliveness question, which the NPC work answered.
