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.

Real token streaming to hide the ~2s call (§14). Proxy emits its own minimal
NDJSON (delta/done/error); /dm/narrate becomes a 200 stream (422 stays sync,
model errors become an in-stream frame). Client reworks to an HTTPClient
poll-loop StreamTransport behind a testable seam; hold-back tag filter;
keep-partial mid-stream degrade; folds in the HttpTransport timeout fix.
Narrator first; NPC fast-follow.
