## Title

    [DBOS TS] DBOSStreamNondeterminismError "Cannot deterministically read stream X in workflow Y: another stream read in the same workflow is still in progress"

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Recorded stream reads must be deterministic on replay; concurrent reads would record values in scheduling-dependent order.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://registry.npmjs.org/@dbos-inc/dbos-sdk/-/dbos-sdk-5.1.10.tgz#package/dist/src/error.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): DBOSStreamNondeterminismError message explains cause and fix.
    
    Search phrasings: DBOS Cannot deterministically read stream another stream read in the same workflow is still in progress
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
