Description

main use-case: in the switch zone, we are extremely memory-bound. we might want to enable streaming of bundles out through the support's ssh connection (e.g., dump to stdout, check that it isn't a terminal, etc).

Research direction

Start by tracing how service bundles are created and written to the local filesystem, then inspect the support SSH path mentioned in the issue. Done should mean bundles can stream through a non-terminal sink such as stdout without requiring the full bundle to remain in memory.
