reckless-rpc: increase initial buffer size
Reckless uv installations typically produce 3KB+ of output.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply enlarges two memory buffers used to capture text output from a plugin installation helper. It is a routine capacity tweak, not a security fix. There is no indication of a vulnerability, crash, or attack path.
No security action required. Treat as a normal maintenance change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch changes the initial allocation size for stdoutbuf and stderrbuf in plugins/recklessrpc.c from 1024 to 4096 bytes. The commit message states this is because ‘Reckless uv installations typically produce 3KB+ of output.’ This is a functional/usability adjustment to avoid truncated or insufficient buffer space for normal command output. No bounds-checking logic, input handling, or security-sensitive code is modified.
