agra 62ffea0663 fibers: deterministic virtual-time timers (B1.4b)
Add a virtual clock + sleep timers to the M:1 scheduler so fibers
schedule in reproducible simulated time. Scheduler gains clock_ms (the
virtual clock, advances only as timers fire), a timers list, now_ms(),
sleep(ms) (arm {clock_ms+ms, current} + suspend), and a timer-driven
run (drain ready -> fire earliest timer -> advance clock -> wake ->
repeat; the orphan-suspend deadlock check is preserved for a genuine
no-timer park). Wakes fire in deadline order with a FIFO tiebreak.

Adversarial review found a use-after-free: a fiber woken early (manual
or Task wake) before its sleep timer fired was reaped while its Timer
kept a dangling *Fiber, so a later fire dereferenced freed memory.
Fixed: wake evicts the fiber's pending timer (cancel_timer_for) -- every
re-ready path funnels through wake, so no stale timer outlives its fiber.

Examples: 1814 (sim-timer deadline ordering), 1815 (early-wake timer
eviction regression). Suite green 753/0.

// Stream B1 (fibers) B1.4b — deterministic VIRTUAL-TIME timer scheduling (the
// KEYSTONE), in pure sx over the M:1 scheduler. A fiber `sleep(ms)`s in
// SIMULATED time; the scheduler wakes fibers in DEADLINE order, advancing a
// virtual clock that moves only when the ready queue drains and the earliest
// timer fires. No real wall clock is ever read — the wake ORDER and the
// observed timestamps are fully reproducible, which is exactly what a
// deterministic-sim Io test harness needs.
//
// HOW IT WORKS. `s.sleep(ms)` arms a timer `{ clock_ms + ms, current }` and
// parks the fiber off-queue. `s.run` drives ready fibers to quiescence, then
// fires the earliest pending timer: it advances `clock_ms` to that deadline and
// `wake`s the sleeper (re-readying it), and repeats until both the ready queue
// AND the timer set are empty. So a fiber that just woke reads `now_ms()` equal
// to its own deadline.
//
// WHAT THIS PROVES.
// - Deadline-ordered wake (NOT spawn order): spawn A, B, C in that order;
// A sleep(30), B sleep(10), C sleep(20). Wakes fire B(10), C(20), A(30) —
// reordered by deadline, not by spawn order.
// - Virtual timestamps: each fiber on wake reads `now_ms()` == its deadline
// (10, 20, 30) — the virtual clock landed exactly on the firing deadline.
// - FIFO tiebreak: two fibers D, E both sleep(15) — they wake in spawn
// (insertion) order D then E, the deterministic equal-deadline contract.
//
// §8.1.3 CALIBRATION NOTE. The deterministic virtual-time wake ORDER equals
// what real `sleep`s would produce: under real blocking sleeps the OS would
// also wake the shortest sleeper first, i.e. in deadline order. The sim
// reproduces blocking semantics' OBSERVABLE ordering (and the relative
// timestamps) without consuming real time or admitting nondeterminism — so a
// harness can assert exact orderings that a wall-clock test could only
// approximate. (No real-time variant is run here; the equivalence is the
// contract the deterministic test relies on.)
//
// aarch64-macOS-pinned (the scheduler's `swap_context` asm + guard-page mmap
// constants are per-arch / Apple-specific): runs end-to-end on a matching host,
// ir-only on a mismatch.
