fix(edit-history): a remote read with many subagents spans several round trips

The read script carries one case line per subagent cursor, and the whole
script is one argument of the ssh line, which Linux caps at 128 KiB. From
about 1000 subagents the command failed with E2BIG. The cursors have no cap
and the stored conversation is read first, so the session stayed unavailable
and not even a /clear got past it.

A read with more than 300 subagent requests now takes several round trips.
The cut is by name range, not only by count: the script takes a file no case
line names for a new one, so plain groups would read each other's files as
new. Each round trip walks only the names between its cuts, through one awk,
so a new file lands in exactly one range. Budget and meta budget carry over,
and a later round trip still lists its files, because a requested file missing
from the result loses its cursor. A failed round trip fails the whole read and
nothing of it reaches the store. A read of up to 300 runs no awk at all.

Each round of the 60-seed fuzz is also cut at a random size and compared with
the local reader. Run outside the suite too: bash --posix, BusyBox and mawk,
and bash 3.2 in a container, which is macOS sh. That shell cannot parse a case
inside $(...), so the names come from a shell function.
