P2 Badge Keep the shim test visible to cold-spawn coverage

This alias is still derived from INTERNAL_DEADLINE_MS and is passed to child-process timeout options, but DEADLINE_AS_SPAWN_TIMEOUT only recognizes that token within 120 characters after timeout:. Consequently the alias makes this file disappear from the scan and permits its disposition to be removed, even though the aged-lock children dynamically import src/codex/shim and therefore exercise the repository-module cold-start class that the guard is intended to classify. Retain the disposition or extend the guard to resolve this named timeout instead of allowing the alias to bypass it.

P2 Badge Share the timeout across both PowerShell spawns

On a contended Windows runner, these two sequential spawnSync calls may each complete within the new 30-second limit while taking more than the surrounding 45-second SPAWN_BUDGET_MS in aggregate—for example, two 24-second launches. Bun then reports a test timeout even though neither child exceeded its bound, so this change can replace the original flake with another one. Calculate the second timeout from the test's remaining shared deadline, split the two assertions into separate tests, or otherwise ensure their cumulative allowance fits the outer budget.

Use one deadline for both aged-lock waits.

The ready-file poll and the sequential spawnSync each allow 30 seconds. Because they run sequentially, they can consume 60 seconds, while the enclosing test timeout is 45 seconds. Use the remaining time from the first deadline for the second child.

🐛 Suggested fix 
       const second = spawnSync(process.execPath, ["-e", secondScript], {
         cwd: repoRoot(),
         env: childEnv,
         encoding: "utf8",
-        timeout: SHELL_SPAWN_TIMEOUT_MS,
+        timeout: Math.max(1, deadline - Date.now()),
       });

Review comment at @tests/codex-integration/codex-shim.test.ts at line 1765:
Use the existing deadline for both the ready-file poll and the sequential
spawnSync call, setting the second child’s timeout to the remaining time until
that deadline rather than SHELL_SPAWN_TIMEOUT_MS.
