fix(providerio): surface ErrStreamStalled in callers + widen flaky test margins

Address review:
- All four provider stream handlers (openai, codex, anthropic, gemini) now treat
  ErrStreamStalled in the same branch as ErrStreamIdle, via a new
  providerio.StreamTimeoutMessage helper that gives the stall a distinct, accurate
  message (it reports the content window and does NOT claim the upstream stopped
  sending data — keep-alives were still arriving). Previously a stalled stream fell
  through to the generic provider-error path.
- Widen the content-watchdog test timing margins (idle 100ms, data/keepalive every
  30ms) so CI/GC jitter can't trip the idle watchdog and mask the content path.
- Add a StreamTimeoutMessage unit test.

-
-* **auth:** propagate credentials to every provider-build surface and pin children to the live provider ([#366](https://github.com/Gitlawb/zero/issues/366)) ([6e0a665](https://github.com/Gitlawb/zero/commit/6e0a665118fe0e09c4b07d482dd18f86045acd2b))

 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
 - `SECURITY.md` with a private vulnerability-reporting path, `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`, this changelog, and
   GitHub issue/PR templates.
-- Interactive `/theme` picker: bare `/theme` opens a popup that live-previews each palette as you move
-  and applies on select (Esc reverts).
-- Ten built-in color themes alongside the `dark`/`light` built-ins — `dracula`, `nord`, `gruvbox`,
-  `tokyo-night`, `catppuccin`, `one-dark`, `solarized-dark`, `rose-pine`, `everforest`, and
-  `solarized-light` — selectable via `/theme <name>`, `--theme <name>`, or `ZERO_THEME`. Every palette
-  is contrast-audited to WCAG AA. The built-in light theme was reworked for legibility.
-- `--theme <name>` flag for the TUI, accepting `auto` or any registered theme (previously only the
-  `ZERO_THEME` env var existed).
+- `--theme {auto|dark|light}` flag for the TUI (previously only the `ZERO_THEME` env var existed).
 - "Accessibility / Appearance" section in the README documenting `NO_COLOR`, `ZERO_THEME`, `/theme`,
   and `ZERO_NO_FADE`.
