streamDecrypt rebuilt its whole accumulation buffer on every network read (new Uint8Array, two sets, then a slice after each pull), which copies O(n^2) bytes for a chunk delivered as many reads — about a second of churn per 4 MiB chunk against ~20 ms of libsodium work, and the dominant cost of a large backup.
Reads are now queued as-is with a running byte count, and a contiguous buffer is materialised only at each ENC_CHUNK_SIZE boundary (and once more for the trailing final chunk), so every received byte is copied exactly once regardless of file size.
What the diff does not show
A read that straddles a chunk boundary is split with subarray — a view, not a copy — and its tail is left at the head of the queue for the next chunk. That view keeps the straddling read's backing buffer alive until the tail is consumed, so peak memory is still one chunk of queued network data plus one contiguous chunk, exactly as before.
Wire format, chunk framing, truncation detection (including the trailing-bytes message and its authentication-failure cause), retry semantics, and the per-chunk progress hook are untouched; observable behaviour is identical. The existing multi-chunk and truncation tests pass unchanged.
The added test feeds the multi-chunk fixture through a ReadableStream in ~4200 small 1000-byte pieces — the fragmented-read path the other fixtures never take, since each of those delivers a body in a single read — and asserts byte-identical plaintext plus intact chunk framing (writes of STREAM_CHUNK_SIZE then the final chunk).
make check green (tests, eslint, prettier via Dockerfile.lint).

streamDecrypt reallocated and recopied its whole accumulation buffer on
every network read, so a chunk delivered as N reads cost O(chunk^2/read)
bytes copied — for a 4 MiB chunk, about a second of memory churn against
~20 ms of libsodium work, and the dominant cost of a large backup.
Incoming reads are now queued as-is with a running byte count and only
stitched into a contiguous buffer at each ENC_CHUNK_SIZE boundary, so
each received byte is copied once regardless of file size. A read that
straddles a boundary is split with a subarray view, its tail requeued.
Wire format, chunk framing, truncation detection, retry semantics, and
the per-chunk progress hook are unchanged; behaviour is identical. A new
test feeds a multi-chunk body through a ReadableStream in many small
1000-byte pieces — the fragmented-read path the other fixtures, which
deliver each body in one read, never exercised — and asserts the
plaintext is byte-identical and the chunk framing intact.

Findings are limited to prose length; the implementation logic is not disputed.
Commit message body too long. The body of commit 880bd26 runs about 158 words, over the roughly 120-word limit for a commit body. Compress to the mechanism — reads queued with a running byte count, a contiguous buffer materialised only at each ENC_CHUNK_SIZE boundary, a straddling read split with a subarray view — plus the one-line test note; the repeated churn measurement is already recorded on the issue. Acceptable: at most about 120 words of body.
PR body over length (marginal). The description runs about 269 words, over the roughly 250-word limit. The "What the diff does not show" paragraph on view lifetime mostly restates the unchanged-behaviour claim made lower in the body; dropping it brings the description under. Acceptable: at most about 250 words.

Both findings are prose length; logic undisputed and CI green. The squash commit message (written at merge) is concise, and the PR body is discarded by the squash, so nothing over-length enters history. Merging.
