Worker A (lock holder) used holdMs=1000 as a safety cap on its
Atomics.wait for the writer's contention signal. Under container load
(full suite, node24) Worker B's spawn + require('state.cjs') + stub
installation can exceed 1s, so A's wait timed out and removed the lock
before B ever contended. B's first atomic-create then succeeded
(lockAttempts:1), failing the retry-path witness and red-flagging the
gsd-test gate on otherwise-green branches.
The handshake is the real release trigger; holdMs is only a safety cap
for a dead/hung writer, so it must be large enough to never elapse
during B's spawn+init. Bump to 30s (bounded; afterEach terminate()s A
on the normal path, so no added latency) and widen the per-test timeout
to 15s for spawn headroom under heavy parallel load.
