reacechalmers 4361e98998 fix: page large read_file results instead of returning whole files
An unbounded read_file returned the entire file, which on a small-context
backend overflows the model's window. The backend then rejects the whole
request (llama-server: "request (N tokens) exceeds the available context
size"), which kills the turn — so reading everything at once is precisely
what makes the session stop. Observed live: one 100 KB source file is
~25k tokens against a 32k window with a ~6k-token prefix, and a session
read the same file three times and died on six 400s.

read_file now returns a page and says so:
  - absent `limit` yields DEFAULT_READ_LINES (2000) rather than EOF
  - MAX_READ_CHARS (64 KB) bounds the payload even when `limit` is
    explicit, so minified or generated files can't defeat the line cap
  - `truncated` and `nextOffset` tell the caller it has a partial view
    and exactly where to resume; the tool description explains both

MAX_READ_SIZE (10 MB) is untouched: it is a process guard against slurping
huge or binary blobs, not a context guard, and at ~2.5M tokens it never
fires on the files that actually overflow a window.

Also clears pre-existing clippy failures in trident.rs that blocked
-D warnings on every edit to this crate.
