Bill ba9da3fd55 Step 254: response budget system (truncation, continuation, pagination)
Optional budget parameter on getAST and getDiagnostics. Responses exceeding
the budget are truncated with continuation tokens for paginated follow-up.
Binary search finds max array elements fitting the budget. Diagnostics sorted
by severity (errors first) before truncation.
