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 — a fiber's pending `sleep` timer is EVICTED when it
// is woken early by another path, so a stale timer can never outlive (and
// dereference) a reaped fiber.
//
// Scenario: a "sleeper" fiber arms `sleep(100)` and parks; a "waker" fiber wakes
// it EARLY (at virtual t=0) via `wake`. The sleeper resumes, finishes, and is
// reaped (its stack `munmap`'d + `Fiber` freed). Its 100ms timer must already be
// gone — otherwise, when the run loop later fired that stale timer, it would
// `wake` a freed `*Fiber` (use-after-free) and wrongly advance the virtual clock
// to 100. Here `wake` evicts the timer, so the clock stays at 0 and nothing
// dereferences freed memory.
//
// Regression: the timer-vs-early-wake use-after-free found reviewing B1.4b.
// Contract: `log: 2 1` (waker records 2, then the early-woken sleeper records 1),
// `clock: 0` (no stale timer fired), `n_suspended: 0` (balanced).
//
// aarch64-macOS-pinned (the scheduler's per-arch asm + Apple mmap constants):
// runs end-to-end on a matching host, ir-only on a mismatch.
