The review's warning: each held open fragment is a distinct array slot plus
string object header (~30x overhead the byte cap cannot see), and a
budget-sized single-character open flood is honest-child reachable
(print('x', end='', flush=True) in a loop). With maxLogBytes near its ~67 MB
load ceiling that was up to ~2 GB of host auxiliary heap. The hold now seals
into one block past MAX_PENDING_CHUNKS, mirroring the fd-3 reader's blocks and
the stray capture's seal; the merge, truncateLogs, and the finish residual all
read sealed + current fragments, and a within-budget flood regression asserts
the merged entry is byte-identical.
