- * Default tail using Bun.spawn (macOS-safe: no tac, no GNU timeout).

+ * Default tail via a pure fs read. Must work under BOTH node and bun: the `ccs`
+ * CLI (and `ccs bar launch`) runs under node, where `Bun.spawn` is undefined —
+ * the previous Bun-only implementation threw there, so Codex quota silently
+ * never surfaced in real deployments (only under the bun-run dev harness).
+ * Reading the JSONL and slicing the tail is cheap (session rollouts are small)
+ * and carries no runtime/OS/subprocess dependency.
