Subject: [PATCH] refactor(runtime): align fallback epoch comment and test
 preamble

Match the file's `// Why:` comment convention on the inherited
publication epoch, and drop a redundant duplicate mocks import in the
lineage regression test while keeping the required side-effect order.

No behavior change.
