Preserve escaped usage markers in oversized records.

An oversized Claude record can encode its key as "us\u0061ge" without containing the literal "usage". The streaming tokenizer decodes this key to usage, so the previous oversized path retained it. The declared stream-json 3.7.0 tokenizer explicitly decodes these escapes. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

The new byte gate leaves carriesUsage false. This skips the record and advances resumeOffset past it, silently losing usage. Use a conservative replay fallback for escaped markers. Extend the oversized-record test with this equivalent JSON representation.

Review comment at @apps/server/src/usage/usageTranscriptReader.ts at line 445:
Update the oversized-record byte gate that sets carriesUsage so escaped JSON key characters that decode to “usage” trigger conservative replay rather than skipping the record; preserve the existing resumeOffset behavior for records without usage markers. Extend the oversized-record test to cover the equivalent escaped-key representation.
