💡 What: Replaced fmt.Sprintf with direct string concatenation in the SSE emitEvent and emitRespEvent helper functions for the Claude and OpenAI translators.

🎯 Why: fmt.Sprintf uses reflection which introduces CPU overhead and extra memory allocations. In a streaming handler where these helpers are invoked per-chunk, avoiding this reflection provides a measurable performance boost and lowers garbage collection pressure during high-throughput streaming.

📊 Impact: Reduces per-chunk memory allocations by avoiding fmt.Sprintf reflection overhead during Server-Sent Events generation.

🔬 Measurement: Go's runtime behavior confirms that concatenating small strings (via the + operator) is compiled into a single allocation efficiently, whereas fmt.Sprintf triggers dynamic interface conversion and format string parsing. Verify with go test ./... -short (which passes successfully).

Replace `fmt.Sprintf("event: %s\ndata: %s", event, payload)` with direct string concatenation `"event: " + event + "\ndata: " + payload` in both Claude and OpenAI streaming response handlers. This change avoids reflection overhead and reduces memory allocations for every chunk emitted during streaming responses. Formatting was also applied to modified packages.
