+"""Regression: SSE frame parser must handle \\r\\n line endings.
+
+The W3C SSE spec allows \\r\\n, \\r, or \\n as line separators. Some upstream
+providers (notably Azure-hosted OpenAI models) send \\r\\n\\r\\n as the frame
+delimiter. Without normalization the parser never finds the \\n\\n boundary
+and buffers the entire response in memory until the connection closes,
+at which point it yields nothing."""
