+ * The ONE bound on a leg of this file, and the reason it is stated once (#18590).
+ *
+ * ## The defect this closes
+ *
+ * Every leg here boots a real, cold Node process running the published oclif
+ * entry and waits for it synchronously. Measured on an idle box, lock held,
+ * with the budget lifted so the numbers are costs and not verdicts:
+ *
+ *     NODE_ENV=development            3000ms
+ *     NODE_ENV=test                   2526ms
+ *     NODE_ENV=production             2742ms
+ *     CONTROL neutralised (dev)       3599ms
+ *     CONTROL neutralised (prod)      2467ms
+ *
+ * The `spawnSync` below already declares this file's real bound — 120s, chosen,
+ * and the same number the other spawning suites in this directory pin. But no
+ * leg named a vitest budget, so every one of them was ALSO measured against
+ * vitest's 5000ms DEFAULT, which nobody here chose. Against costs of 2.5-3.6s
+ * that is a margin thinner than the run-to-run variance on an idle machine, so
+ * WHICH leg reddens is decided by how busy the box is and by nothing this file
+ * tests. Both halves of that were measured: in `Rerun Safety` (the workflow
+ * that deliberately runs the whole suite twice on one runner) the three
+ * non-neutralised legs timed out while both CONTROL legs passed; locally, on a
+ * quiet box, the opposite happened — the neutralised CONTROL leg took 5710ms
+ * and was the only one to fail. Same file, same commit, disjoint casualties.
+ *
+ * ## ⛔ Why this is not "raise the timeout until it passes"
+ *
+ * That move hides a real failure, and this one cannot, because it raises no
+ * bound at all. The child is still killed by `spawnSync` at exactly the same
+ * 120s it was before; what is removed is a SECOND, lower, unchosen bound that
+ * was shadowing the chosen one. A leg that genuinely hangs still dies at 120s —
+ * and now says so, see `runPublishedEntry`. Nor can a slow leg pass silently:
+ * vitest prints each leg's duration, and the numbers above are the record to
+ * compare against.
+ *
+ * ⛔ And it must not be tuned DOWN to "catch a slowdown". The 5000ms budget
+ * proved exactly what a too-tight budget proves: nothing about the code, and a
+ * red whose casualty list is a function of the runner's load.
