Output Replay Buffer Sizing

Output replay needs a bounded buffer. The goal is to keep recent output without turning the system into a log archive.

Practical sizing rules

• cap chunks and bytes,
• drop oldest output first,
• keep enough to cover typical disconnect gaps.

Why this matters

Too small and you miss critical output. Too large and memory usage grows without bounds.
