Stream live AI responses letter-by-letter instead of word-by-word #89857

Description

Problem

Currently, live AI responses in chat are streamed word-by-word. This creates a noticeably chunkier experience compared to suggested responses, which stream smoothly letter-by-letter.

Expected Behavior

Live AI responses should stream letter-by-letter (character-by-character), matching the smooth streaming behavior already used for suggested responses. This provides a more polished, real-time feel that users expect from modern AI chat interfaces.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Live AI responses render incrementally character-by-character, not word-by-word
  • The streaming cadence visually matches the smoothness of suggested response streaming
  • No performance regressions from the finer-grained rendering updates
