- Use code-point length instead of UTF-16 length in estimateStringChars()
  so that CJK Extension B+ surrogate pairs (U+20000+) are counted as 1
  character, not 2 (fixes ~25% overestimate for rare characters).

- Change long-line split step from maxChars to chunking.tokens so that
  CJK lines are sliced into token-budget-sized segments instead of
  char-budget-sized segments that produce ~4x oversized chunks.

- Add tests for both fixes: surrogate-pair handling and long CJK line
  splitting.

Addresses review feedback from Greptile and Codex bots.
