//! `persisted-output-dump` — reading back an output that was too big once.
//!
//! When a tool result is too large, the harness saves it to a file under
//! `tool-results/` and returns the path. Reading that file back whole pays
//! for the same output twice; measured, 31 of 83 persisted results were read
//! back within five calls. The part that was wanted is almost always a
//! handful of lines: `grep`, `head -c`, or a Read with `offset`/`limit`.
