 * CPython subprocess code runtime: a fresh `python3` process runs each model program under an
 * asyncio event loop with top-level ``await``. Binding calls travel on fd 3 as JSON-lines,
 * leaving stdout/stderr free for the program's own output. This is containment, not a security
 * boundary: model code has bash-equivalent trust, contained by a tempdir-only environment,
 * RLIMIT_CPU + RLIMIT_AS, wall-clock timeout, and SIGTERM→grace→SIGKILL on the process group.
 *
 * The package also owns the versionless fd-3 wire protocol itself; its host-side codec and

 * the honest measure of what it retains is the raw length. An honest child has
 * already capped the diagnostic by serialized cost, and raw length ≤ serialized

 * control characters could serialize to roughly six times its raw length, but it
 * is not travelling any capped channel, so the raw-byte bound is the right one:
 * the value it protects is the model-visible size of `error.message`, not a wire

 * the marker after retaining a full budget's worth of text would overrun the
 * very cap this function exists to enforce. The one exception is a configured
 * cap SMALLER than the marker itself, which leaves no room for message text at
 * all; the marker alone is returned there, so the bound is
 * `max(maxValueBytes, 15)`. Reporting the truncation is worth those 15 bytes,
 * and the default cap is 32 KiB.
