refactor(body_cap): share non-iteration logic between sync/async

Extracts two byte-identical blocks from _read_capped/_read_capped_async
into shared functions: _reject_if_declared_length_exceeds_cap and
_build_buffered_response. The byte-accumulation loop stays duplicated --
sync/async genuinely differ there.

Fix folded in from final review: no test asserted content_length on the
"streamed" reason when a declared length is actually present (gzip-bomb
scenario). Added the missing assertion plus a new async mirror test,
also closing a pre-existing sync/async test-parity gap.

+
+# Change: Share body_cap's non-iteration logic between sync/async
+
+**Lane:** lightweight — single file, no new file, no public-API change, no
+test changes (existing suite is the parity net).
+
+## Goal
+
+`_read_capped` and `_read_capped_async` (`src/httpware/_internal/body_cap.py`)
+hand-duplicate two byte-identical blocks: the declared-`Content-Length`
+early-reject, and the final `httpx2.Response` reconstruction. Only the
+actual byte-accumulation loop between them genuinely differs (sync uses
+`_accumulate_capped`+`_CapExceeded`; async inlines its own loop) and stays
+duplicated — same judgment already applied to every other sync/async split
+this session. No behavior change.
+
+## Approach
+
+Two new module-level functions, local to `body_cap.py` (used only by its
+own two functions — same precedent as every other local-scope decision
+this session):
+
+```python
+def _reject_if_declared_length_exceeds_cap(response: httpx2.Response, cap: int) -> int | None:
+    """Return the parsed Content-Length, raising ResponseTooLargeError(reason="declared") if it already exceeds cap."""
+    content_length = _parse_content_length(response.headers.get("content-length"))
+    if content_length is not None and content_length > cap:
+        raise ResponseTooLargeError(
+            status_code=response.status_code, limit=cap, content_length=content_length, reason="declared"
+        )
+    return content_length
+
+
+def _build_buffered_response(response: httpx2.Response, content: bytes, request: httpx2.Request) -> httpx2.Response:
+    """Rebuild a buffered Response from the original streaming `response` and the final decoded `content`."""
+    return httpx2.Response(
+        status_code=response.status_code,
+        headers=_buffered_headers(response.headers),
+        content=content,
+        request=request,
+        extensions=_safe_extensions(response.extensions),
+        history=response.history,
+    )
+```
+
+`content_length` is returned (not just checked) because both call sites
+reuse it in their second (`reason="streamed"`) raise. Both `_read_capped`
+and `_read_capped_async` call these two functions in place of their inline
+blocks; the accumulation loop between them is untouched.
+
+## Files
+
+- `src/httpware/_internal/body_cap.py` — add the two functions; replace
+  the duplicated declared-reject block and the duplicated
+  `httpx2.Response(...)` reconstruction in both `_read_capped` and
+  `_read_capped_async` with calls to them.
+- No test file changes — `tests/test_body_cap.py` already exercises both
+  extraction targets across both sync and async (declared-over-cap,
+  streamed-over-cap using the returned `content_length`, within-cap /
+  exact-cap / empty-body using the reconstruction path).
+
+## Verification
+
+- [ ] `just test` — full suite green, 100% coverage maintained, same test
+      count (pure refactor, no new/removed tests).
+- [ ] `just lint` — clean.
+- [ ] Grep `body_cap.py` to confirm the declared-reject block and the
+      `httpx2.Response(...)` construction each appear exactly once (inside
+      the two new functions), not inline in `_read_capped`/
+      `_read_capped_async`.
