💡 What: Replaced the frequent allocation of bytes.Buffer in ResponseWriterWrapper with a sync.Pool.
🎯 Why: The API gateway's gin.ResponseWriter wrapper allocated a new bytes.Buffer on every request to capture the response body (for non-streaming requests). This generated excessive allocations and garbage collection pressure at high request volumes.
📊 Impact: Reduces allocations per request for the buffer from 1 to 0, which scales massively given this is in the hot path of the API gateway.
🔬 Measurement: Benchmarks show 0 allocs/op with sync.Pool compared to 1 alloc/op, dropping memory footprint on high volume. Includes capacity check to prevent memory bloat.

Replaced the frequent allocation of `bytes.Buffer` in `ResponseWriterWrapper` with a `sync.Pool`.
The API gateway's `gin.ResponseWriter` wrapper allocated a new `bytes.Buffer` on every request to capture the response body (for non-streaming requests). This generated excessive allocations and garbage collection pressure at high request volumes.
This change reduces allocations per request for the buffer from 1 to 0, which scales massively given this is in the hot path of the API gateway.

Also includes capacity checks to prevent permanent memory bloat from pooling excessively large buffers.
