runtime: cap max_new_tokens 3072 -> 768 for usable phone-UX latency

Lab observation 2026-05-27: with thinking-mode generating 500-1500
think-tokens plus structured-output tokens, max_new_tokens=3072
allowed turns to run for 7-10 minutes on RK3588 NPU. Phone-app
shows 'Thinking...' the whole time with no progress visible until
the turn completes (generate() blocks until the full output text
is ready).

Cap to 768 — about 2-3 minutes per turn at RK3588's ~5-7 tps. Long
but bounded enough that the phone UI doesn't appear hung. The
synthetic-verdict fallback in run_troubleshoot handles truncated
output gracefully.

Proper fix later: stream tokens as they arrive via SSE (current
generate blocks). Then max_new_tokens can be raised again without
hurting perceived latency.
