readSSEData blocks in bufio.Reader.ReadString without a local timeout. If a healthy subscription does not receive id:1, Line 213 blocks until the outer test timeout.
Read through a buffered result channel and fail after EventWaitTimeout. Close the response body when the test exits to release the reader goroutine.

Assign the Close error to satisfy errcheck.
golangci-lint reports the unchecked Body.Close return value on these three new deferred calls. Use _ = to keep the lint gate green.

Ensure custom response-writer wrappers implement Unwrap() for SSE subscriptions to work with the new 10s default deadline.
With SSEServerWriteTimeout now defaulting to 10s, writeAndFlushSSE calls http.ResponseController.SetWriteDeadline() on every SSE write and flush (router/core/subscription_response_writer.go:192). If a response writer does not support deadlines or lacks an Unwrap() http.ResponseWriter method for http.ResponseController to unwrap, SetWriteDeadline returns an error. The code fails closed and returns that error, breaking the SSE subscription.
In-repo response-writer wrappers (headerPropagationWriter, bufferingResponseWriter, websocketResponseWriter) currently do not implement Unwrap(). Custom modules or middleware that wrap the response writer and are placed on the subscription path will have the same issue. After upgrade, such deployments lose all SSE subscriptions with no workaround except disabling the timeout by setting ENGINE_SSE_SERVER_WRITE_TIMEOUT=0s.
Verify that all in-repo and documented response-writer wrappers on SSE code paths implement Unwrap() http.ResponseWriter. Add this requirement to the release notes as a breaking change for custom modules.

Closes #3175.
Summary
Extract the downstream SSE write-deadline portion of #3163 into a focused change without hydration recovery, retry handling, metrics, or pub/sub cleanup.
This brings SSE delivery conceptually in line with the existing
engine.websocket_server_write_timeout: both bound individual downstream writes so a stalled client cannot indefinitely block subscription delivery. SSE remains separately configurable and disabled by default for backward compatibility.The Kafka integration regression test reproduces the shared-trigger failure directly: one blocked SSE subscriber holds the current dispatch while a second event is queued, preventing that event from reaching two healthy subscribers. With the SSE timeout disabled, the test fails because the blocked write never returns. With the timeout enabled, the write expires, the stalled subscriber is removed, and both healthy subscribers receive the queued event.
