- * Chunked responses that complete in a reasonable time work correctly on both
- * platforms. The limitation below applies only to *streaming* chunked
- * responses where data arrives slowly over a long period.
- *
- * Streaming chunked responses are NOT supported (all platforms):
- *   The read helpers (http_read_loop_result, http_read_fully) block the main
- *   event loop until all response data is received. For streaming responses
- *   where data trickles in slowly (e.g., TTS streaming via ffmpeg proxy),
- *   this starves the event loop on both ESP-IDF and Arduino. If data arrives
- *   just often enough to avoid the caller's timeout, the loop runs
- *   indefinitely. If data stops entirely, ESP-IDF fails with
- *   -ESP_ERR_HTTP_EAGAIN (transport timeout) while Arduino spins with
- *   delay(1) until the caller's timeout fires. Supporting streaming requires
- *   a non-blocking incremental read pattern that yields back to the event
- *   loop between chunks. Components that need streaming should use
- *   esp_http_client directly on a separate FreeRTOS task with
- *   esp_http_client_is_complete_data_received() for completion detection
- *   (see audio_reader.cpp for an example).

- *       authoritative completion check for both chunked and non-chunked
- *       transfers. When esp_http_client_read() returns 0 for a completed
- *       chunked response, read() returns 0 and is_read_complete() returns
- *       true, so callers get COMPLETE from http_read_loop_result().
- *
- *   - Arduino HttpContainer:
- *       Chunked responses are decoded internally (see

- *       is_chunked_ is cleared and content_length is set to bytes_read_.
- *       Completion is then detected via is_read_complete(), and a subsequent
- *       read() returns 0 to indicate "all content read" (not
- *       HTTP_ERROR_CONNECTION_CLOSED).
- *

-  // This function is carefully structured to enable NRVO. The compiler constructs `result`
-  // directly in the caller's stack frame, eliminating the move constructor call entirely.
-  //
-  // WITHOUT NRVO: Each return would trigger SerializationBuffer's move constructor, which
-  // must memcpy up to 768 bytes of stack buffer content. This happens on EVERY JSON
-  // serialization (sensor updates, web server responses, MQTT publishes, etc.).
-  //
-  // WITH NRVO: Zero memcpy, zero move constructor overhead. The buffer lives directly
-  // where the caller needs it.
-  //
-  // Requirements for NRVO to work:
-  //   1. Single named variable (`result`) returned from ALL paths
-  //   2. All paths must return the SAME variable (not different variables)
-  //   3. No std::move() on the return statement
-  //
-  // If you must modify this function:
-  //   - Keep a single `result` variable declared at the top
-  //   - All code paths must return `result` (not a different variable)
-  //   - Verify NRVO still works by checking the disassembly for move constructor calls
-  //   - Test: objdump -d -C firmware.elf | grep "SerializationBuffer.*SerializationBuffer"
-  //     Should show only destructor, NOT move constructor
-  //
-  // Why we avoid measureJson(): It instantiates DummyWriter templates adding ~1KB flash.
-  // Instead, try stack buffer first. 768 bytes covers 99.9% of JSON payloads (sensors ~200B,
-  // lights ~170B, climate ~700B). Only entities with 40+ options exceed this.
