Subject: [PATCH] fix(streaming): await failure logging before re-raising a
 failed text stream

Await the failure handlers instead of scheduling them, matching the non-streaming path, so the failure is logged even if the event loop shuts down right after. The test now checks the failure payload and no longer waits on a timer
