refactor(producer): tighten resolveChunkPlan assertion + trim comments

Address self-review findings:
- assertPositiveInteger now only runs on the caller-supplied path so the
  error message names `configChunkSize` only when the caller actually
  passed one. Previously, the assertion fired against `resolvedChunkSize`
  on both paths and would have lied about the offending input.
- Drop the call-site comment that narrated the diff/history; the
  function docstring already covers the contract.
- Drop the internal-track name and date from the MIN_CHUNK_SIZE rationale
  and the test block header.
