Codeman maintainer d4fe3afc9d feat(files): raise the download cap to 2GB and stream /api/download
The 50MB cap on file-raw, the attachment /raw route and /api/download was
memory protection for a `readFile()` that no longer exists: file-raw and
/raw were rewritten to stream through `sendFileBody()` and answer Range
requests, so size costs a read stream rather than RSS (measured: a 600MB
download moved peak RSS by ~37MB). All the cap still did was refuse
legitimate downloads of build artifacts, videos and archives.

It is now MAX_FILE_DOWNLOAD_BYTES in config/buffer-limits.ts, default 2GB,
env CODEMAN_MAX_DOWNLOAD_BYTES, 0 = unlimited. `parseByteLimitEnv()` is
separate from the `parseInt(...) || default` idiom used elsewhere in that
file precisely because that idiom reads 0 as falsy and would silently
restore the default for the one value that means "no limit".

/api/download was the last route that really did buffer the whole file. It
now shares sendFileBody() with the other two, so it streams, advertises
Accept-Ranges, and is resumable. Its Content-Disposition also goes through
buildContentDisposition() rather than raw interpolation.

Refusals move from 400 to 413 across all three, which is the correct status
for the case; with the cap at 2GB it is a path almost nothing reaches now.
