v3.8.3: Fix freebuff streaming — SSE events now reach Codex client

- Root cause: _handle_freebuff streaming loop collected events but never
  wrote them to self.wfile (stream_buffered_events was not called)
- Fix: Replaced manual loop with stream_buffered_events() + on_event callback
- Confirmed working: raw API streaming, non-stream, and stream through proxy
- Updated CHANGELOG.md, README.md, version labels to 3.8.3

+
+**Critical Fix — Freebuff Streaming Now Works End-to-End**
+
+### Root Cause
+The freebuff streaming handler collected SSE events into an internal list but **never wrote them to the client socket** (`self.wfile`). The `stream_buffered_events()` method — which handles buffered flushing (30ms interval / 4KB threshold / urgent events) — was not called for the freebuff streaming path. Codex CLI received zero bytes, showing "thinking..." indefinitely.
+
+### Fix
+Replaced the manual streaming loop in `_handle_freebuff()` with `self.stream_buffered_events()` using an `on_event` callback pattern, matching the architecture used by the gemini-oauth, anthropic, and command-code backends. Events now flow in real-time with proper buffered flushing.
+
+### Changes
+- **translate-proxy.py**: `_handle_freebuff()` streaming path rewritten — uses `stream_buffered_events()` with `_on_fb_event()` callback for metadata extraction
+- Non-streaming path unchanged (already working)
+- pycache cleanup in launcher ensures stale `.pyc` bytecode never loads old code
+
+### Confirmed Working (API-level tests)
+1. Raw freebuff API streaming: 36 SSE chunks, "hello" text received
+2. Non-stream through proxy: complete JSON response with text
+3. **Streaming through proxy: full SSE event sequence** — `response.created` → `response.output_text.delta("hello")` → `response.completed`
