feat: real-time SSE streaming via StreamConsumer (adapted from Hermes Agent)

- StreamConsumer class: queued token buffer → rate-limited editMessageText loop
- Adaptive flood control backoff (3 strikes → fallback to plain send)
- Cursor indicator (▉) during typing, stripped on completion
- chatWithAI now supports onDelta callback for SSE token streaming
- Uses native fetch() for SSE (Node 18+), falls back to non-streaming on error
- Message handler wires StreamConsumer into the chat pipeline
- Graceful fallback: if streaming fails entirely, sends as plain message
