It looks like automate stdio will break "packets" (by default) on 32kB boundaries, but that doesn't seem to be mentioned in the documentation.

I think it would be ideal if the documentation mentioned that the main stream (or any other stream, I suppose) can have the command output split into several packets.

The web documentation also doesn't currently mention the "--automate-stdio-size" option as a way to control the maximum size of these packets.
