💡 What: Refactored the non-streaming Claude response converters (ConvertClaudeResponseToOpenAINonStream, ConvertClaudeResponseToGeminiNonStream, and ConvertClaudeResponseToOpenAIResponsesNonStream) to use a manual, zero-allocation byte slice loop instead of bytes.Split or bufio.Scanner.

🎯 Why: To eliminate massive memory allocations. The previous implementations used bytes.Split(rawJSON, []byte("\n")) which allocates numerous slice headers and intermediate strings, or bufio.NewScanner with a pre-allocated 50MB buffer. The new pattern processes the byte slice directly in place using bytes.IndexByte, drastically reducing memory pressure and GC pauses during response processing.

📊 Impact: Reduces per-request allocations significantly, eliminating the fixed 50MB buffer allocation for Gemini/Responses translators and avoiding heavy slice header allocations for OpenAI translators. This will measurably improve API gateway throughput and latency for large non-streaming Claude responses.

🔬 Measurement: go test ./internal/translator/... -bench=. -benchmem and go test ./... -short confirm no functional regressions and improved processing speed.

…cation

Replaced `bytes.Split(rawJSON, []byte("\n"))` and `bufio.Scanner` with a manual zero-allocation byte slice loop using `bytes.IndexByte(..., '\n')` in:
- `ConvertClaudeResponseToOpenAINonStream`
- `ConvertClaudeResponseToGeminiNonStream`
- `ConvertClaudeResponseToOpenAIResponsesNonStream`

This eliminates massive buffer allocations (e.g. 50MB scanner buffers) and intermediate slice allocations when processing large Claude Code API responses.
