NeilandOrca bc6a6e9ff0 [P2] fix(daemon): keep audit-only evidence off the main thread and out of false negatives (#11695)
* fix(daemon): keep audit-only evidence off the main thread and out of false negatives

Three audit-only daemon evidence defects:

- The Windows CIM probe emitted the "absent" marker whenever $p was empty, so a
  non-terminating Get-CimInstance failure (Winmgmt down, corrupt WMI repository,
  access denied) exited 0 with {"exists":false} and was recorded as proof the
  daemon process was gone. The script now sets $ErrorActionPreference and reports
  query failure explicitly; only a query that ran and found nothing yields
  'missing', everything else stays 'unavailable'.
- probeMacosProcess read the process start time through execFileSync('ps') on the
  Electron main thread. It now uses the async readMacosProcessStartedAtMs, matching
  the async command-line sibling in the same probe.
- daemon_audit_eligibility fired on every successful inventory, so routine
  listProcesses traffic could drain the shared 1,000-event per-session telemetry
  ceiling. Repeated identical observations now collapse to one heartbeat per
  5 minutes; a changed observation still emits immediately.

The evidence stays strictly audit-only — no lifecycle, routing or recovery path
consumes the observation.

* fix(daemon): take the linux audit start-time read off the main thread

The linux branch of the audit-only evidence probe still bottomed out in
getProcessStartedAtMs, i.e. two readFileSync calls plus an
execFileSync('getconf', ['CLK_TCK']) spawn on the Electron main thread —
the same hazard the darwin half of this change removed. The `async`
wrapper hid it from the type signature and from the main-thread
regression test, which only covered darwin.

That path is reached whenever the pid record carries no start ticks or
boot id: legacy bare-integer pid files (the upgrade population this audit
exists to observe) and any host where /proc boot-id or start-tick reads
fail.

readLinuxProcessStartedAtMs now reads procfs asynchronously and caches
CLK_TCK for the process lifetime (it is fixed for the kernel's lifetime),
retrying only after a failed probe. The main-thread test now covers linux
with a ticks-less pid record.

* fix(daemon): measure the audit heartbeat window on a monotonic clock

A backward wall-clock jump (NTP correction, VM resume) made elapsed time negative, which read as "still inside the window" and suppressed daemon_audit_eligibility heartbeats until wall time caught up. Rate-limit arithmetic now runs on performance.now() and treats any backward movement as eligible.

* fix(daemon): guard the audit rate limiter and scope the CLK_TCK cache

The rate-limited tracker is the only production emitter, but its payload
serialization and clock read sat outside the guard that keeps audit
telemetry from affecting daemon availability — a throw there propagates
out of listProcesses' try and turns a successful inventory into a
reported inventory failure.

Also key the CLK_TCK cache by the runner that produced it: the value
belongs to the host executing getconf, not the module.
