fix: copy stream data through short reads

`stream_copy` stopped after any read shorter than `chunk_size`, truncating valid unbuffered streams. Continue until an empty chunk reports end of input, preserving the existing writer contract and byte count.

Add binary/text short-read and empty-input regressions, plus a synchronized real POSIX pipe reproduction. The regressions fail before the fix; utility and typing modules pass with both CLI and Gix backends (126 passed, 39 skipped each). Applicable pre-commit checks pass.
