/* ── ha-commit-durability task 4.4: bounded-window catch-up before FATAL ─────
*
* The 4.3 gate above can DECIDE FATAL synchronously, but a member that won an
* election with no peer reachable AT THE PROMOTION INSTANT may simply be seeing
* a transient no-peer snapshot during aggressive failover (task-5.2 soak: a
* recovery-truncated winner self-FATAL'd immediately and repeatedly until
* quorum was lost — an availability collapse, not durable loss). Per the 3.2
* decision table the FATAL terminal must be reached ONLY after a BOUNDED
* failure: the member is fenced (in_catch_up), given DEFAULT_RECOVERY_CATCHUP_-
* WINDOW_MS to find a peer / make catch-up progress, and FATAL'd from a one-shot
* timer only if it is STILL hollow with no peer and no progress when the window
* elapses.
*
* The window is a settable seam so the timer test runs fast. Default =
* DEFAULT_RECOVERY_CATCHUP_WINDOW_MS (persist.h). */
