This PR bounds memory use when reading inputs from the chain by introducing a shared per-tick input budget across applications and open/sealed epochs. Blocks containing more inputs than the remaining budget are processed across multiple ticks, with persisted progress allowing ingestion to resume without skipping or reinserting inputs. Applications receive priority in rotation to prevent starvation.

The reader uses FilterQuery topic filtering (see here) to request only the required application and input indices—for example, `appContract = DAppAddr1 AND (index = 100 OR index = 101 OR index = 102)``. This bounds the inputs returned by each query, even when many inputs share a single block.

CARTESI_EVM_READER_MAX_INPUTS_PER_STEP defaults to 500 and accepts values from 1 to 1,000, keeping index-topic alternatives within Geth’s default limit (see here). Regression tests cover partial-block resumption, epoch transitions, shared-budget enforcement, and scheduling fairness. A same-block integration stress test also measures sampled RSS growth against a configurable limit.
