Fangliquan 483b9e3328 test(tests): assert SessionDB timeout without wall-clock
Replace elapsed-time checks with captured Future.result(timeout=...) values so the hang regression stays deterministic under parallel CI load.

"""Regression test for a hung SessionDB() init permanently wedging a cron job.
Real-world incident: a cron job's ``SessionDB()`` construction inside
``run_job`` blocked forever (a wedged sqlite3.connect against state.db, no
other process holding a competing lock by the time it was diagnosed). Because
that call had no timeout of its own — unlike the agent's run_conversation,
which is already bounded by HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT — the worker thread submitted
by ``_submit_with_guard`` never returned. Its ``finally`` block, which is the
only thing that discards the job ID from ``_running_job_ids``, never ran.
Every later tick logged "already running — skipping" and the job never fired
again until the whole gateway process was restarted days later.
These tests prove ``run_job`` now bounds the SessionDB init with its own
timeout (HERMES_CRON_SESSION_DB_TIMEOUT, default 10s) so a hang there can
never again wedge the job past that bound, and — end to end — that the
dispatch guard is released and the job becomes dispatchable again afterward.
Assertions capture the timeout passed to ``Future.result(timeout=...)`` (and
optionally force an immediate ``TimeoutError``) — no wall-clock waits, so the
suite stays free of timing flakes under parallel load.
