4grayandClaude Opus 5 d2fd27b535 test(performance): deflake the real-timer event-loop delay spec (#1293)
* test(performance): deflake the real-timer event-loop delay spec

The real-timer capture spec failed under full-suite parallelism because
`monitorEventLoopDelay()` records nothing on its first internal timer
tick - that tick only seeds the previous timestamp, so the first delay
sample lands on the second tick. Condition-based arming therefore needs
two event-loop turns inside its fixed 50ms wall-clock budget, and a
machine running 10 Jest workers stretches a single turn past 20ms. The
capture then degraded to a documented `event-loop-delay-arm-timeout`,
which is the intended graceful path, while the spec asserted the happy
path of that race and turned an environmental outcome into a red build.

Retry the real-runtime capture within a 5s budget instead. The real
`node:perf_hooks` runtime and the real 20ms block are kept, since the
fake harness returns a hard-coded histogram max and never measures
anything. Every attempt still asserts a contract: instrumentation never
breaks the wrapped work, and a null delay must carry a documented
arm/flush timeout rather than being silently null. Budget exhaustion
warns instead of failing, so load can no longer produce a false failure.

* test(performance): assert the real delay measurement unconditionally

Codex flagged that budget exhaustion still passed the test, so a
regression that made arming or flushing time out on every attempt would
have been reported as a warning rather than a failure - removing the only
assertion backed by Node's real histogram and a genuine event-loop block.

Drop the tolerant retry loop. The arming deadline is read through the
injectable `readMonotonicMs()`, so scaling only that clock leaves the
wait bounded by its other limit, the 50-poll ceiling, which is ~25x the
two event-loop turns arming actually needs. Everything else stays
production code: the real `monitorEventLoopDelay()` histogram, real
`setTimeout()` polling, and real epoch/CPU/ELU boundaries. The scaled
clock reaches nothing but the wait budgets, since its only other consumer
records phase events and this spec records none.

The test now always asserts a real measurement and hard-fails otherwise.
Verified by mutation: forcing arming to never arm fails it, and dropping
the deliberate block fails it at maxMs 3.8ms against the 10ms floor.
