Reader classes now correctly propagate the `chunk_size` parameter to the default chunking strategy they apply when no explicit chunking configuration is provided. Previously, `chunk_size` set on a reader was silently ignored when falling back to the default chunker, producing chunks of unexpected size.

Details**:**

- Fixes `chunk_size` being ignored in default chunking strategies used by reader classes
- Ensures consistent chunk sizing across both explicit and default chunking configurations
- No changes required; the fix applies automatically to all reader classes
