Subject: [PATCH] fix(#8141): log pending request counter decrement failures
 (#8179)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fix(ci): resolve upstream-inherited check failures

* fix(streamHandler): log trackPendingRequest decrement failures instead of swallowing

The clearPendingRequest function had an empty catch block around the
trackPendingRequest decrement call. If it threw, the pending request
counter stayed incremented — causing drift, false-positive rate limiting,
and masked overload conditions.

Now logs the error with context for observability.

Fixes #8141
