mARTin-B78 aea24400af fix: auto-paste long/multiline output, O(n²) overlay accumulation (v2.0.1)
Root cause of session freeze confirmed: a 15 000-char code block was typed
character-by-character via xdotool at 12ms/char = ~3 min, flooding the X11
per-client event buffer until the entire session froze.

- paste.py: any text >300 chars or containing newlines auto-upgrades to
  clipboard paste (instant Ctrl+V) regardless of configured output mode.
  xdotool type is kept only for short single-line text where it matters.
- daemon.py: replace on_token "".join(acc) accumulation (O(n²) for long
  code blocks) with a sliding deque that shows only the last 400 chars in
  the overlay — Pango no longer re-lays out a growing 15 KB string on each
  incoming token.

"""Deliver text into the focused window via xdotool (X11).
Two strategies:
- "type" : xdotool types the text directly (no clipboard side effects).
- "paste" : put text on the clipboard, then send Ctrl+V.
The target window is captured when recording starts and re-activated before
delivery, so a brief focus change during processing doesn't misfire.
