l0ng-aiandl0ng-ai 33eedad90a fix(ui): the routed-auth test no longer hangs, and no longer loses its prompt (#263)
* fix(ui): the routed-auth test can no longer hang the whole suite

`a_routed_auth_prompt_carries_the_machine_that_raised_it` waited for its own
prompt in an unbounded spin loop. `AUTH_MAILBOX` is process-global and
`pump_auth_sheets` drains every entry in one pass, so any gpui test in this
binary that drives a tick can take that prompt first — and unbounded, the loop
then spins until GitHub's six-hour job limit.

This is the hang CI has been paying for, named twice and on two platforms:
2h50m inside this test on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (run 30517182773), and again
on windows-msvc (run 30526538997). It is *not* the cfg(windows) transport
accepts bounded in #261; those were a separate latent six-hour hang.

The loop now has a ten-second deadline and an assertion that says what an empty
mailbox means and whether the responder thread had finished. Note what that does
and does not buy: a stolen prompt becomes a fast, self-explaining failure instead
of a six-hour outage, but the theft itself is still possible, and curing it means
deciding what that process-global mailbox should be under test — a design call,
not something to settle inside a CI fix.

ci.yml keeps only a comment where a post-mortem step used to be, because the
step was worthless twice over. It cannot work: GitHub kills the step's process
tree when `timeout-minutes` trips, before the next step runs, so on run
30526538997 the dump printed two headers and nothing between them. And it is not
needed: libtest already prints "<test> has been running for over 60 seconds",
which was in every hung run all along. The obstacle was only ever that a job's
log cannot be fetched while the job is in progress — which the `Test` timeout
fixes by making the step fail.

* fix(ui): a test waiting on the auth mailbox is no longer raced by a tick

The previous commit made the flake loud instead of fatal; this stops it
happening. CI proved the mechanism on the very next run: the new assertion
fired on windows-msvc with "no routed prompt arrived within 10s ... Responder
thread finished: false", 731 other tests passing, the whole suite done in
12.39s instead of hanging for six hours.

`AUTH_MAILBOX` is process-global and `pump_auth_sheets` takes every entry in
one pass. That is right for the app — one tick, one mailbox — and wrong in a
test binary, where a test waiting for the prompt it just caused shares that
mailbox with every gpui test that drives a tick. The tick drains a prompt it
has no idea was spoken for, and the waiting test never sees it.

`MAILBOX_TURN` arbitrates: a test that needs its own prompt back claims it for
the exchange, and the drain yields while it is held. Both the static and the
claim in `pump_auth_sheets` are `#[cfg(test)]`, so a release build is byte-for
-byte what it was — there is one app, one tick, and nothing to arbitrate.

The compromise is visible and deliberate: test-only synchronisation inside a
production function. The alternative that needs no such thing is to stop the
mailbox being process-global — dependency-injected per app — which is a larger
change to a path this defect does not otherwise justify touching.

No deadlock: the claim is the first thing `pump_auth_sheets` does, before it
locks the mailbox, so the two locks are only ever taken in one order.
