fix: prevent browser crash during long streaming sessions (#262)

- Debounce streaming diagram updates (150ms) to reduce handleDisplayChart calls by 93%
- Debounce localStorage writes (1s) to prevent blocking main thread
- Limit diagramHistory to 20 entries to prevent unbounded memory growth
- Clean up debounce timeout on component unmount to prevent memory leaks
- Add console timing markers for performance profiling

Fixes #78
