Description
Add an explicit Character Streaming rendering mode that smooths chunky server updates by buffering attributed composed graphemes and releasing them one at a time.
The mode should preserve Markdown styling, links, layout, accessibility, Reduce Motion behavior, completion/replacement handling, and existing Fade behavior across UIKit and AppKit. The sample should expose Character Streaming and Standard Fade as selectable modes.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing Fade rendering mode and the sample's mode-selection entry point, then trace the UIKit and AppKit rendering paths. Review how attributed composed graphemes, Markdown styling, links, layout, accessibility, Reduce Motion, and completion or replacement are handled. Done means Character Streaming and Standard Fade are selectable while the listed behaviors remain intact.
