[gotcha] AI response cuts off mid-sentence during streaming with no error message

Implement a client-side fallback to detect incomplete sentences on stream end, and append a system message like '\[Response interrupted by safety filter\]' or gracefully fade out the trailing text.

Journey Context:
Developers assume the stream will either complete or throw a catchable error. But with streaming moderation, the stream simply terminates \(e.g., finish\_reason=content\_filter\) if a violation is detected mid-generation. The UI just stops rendering, leaving a hanging fragment that looks like a network glitch rather than a moderation event. You must handle the 'silent stream death' gracefully.
