Every preflight on this 10-core Mac fails its unit stage at the 20-minute per-package budget: on 2026-10-24/25 six preflights in a row, from three sessions and through the gate's command form at a load of 5 to 7, ended with internal/core/claim, internal/core/implement/loop and internal/surface/cli each killed at 1200s with no test hung (each dump shows one test a few seconds in). The same packages take 260s, 633s and 535s on CI's Linux runner and implement/loop took 1830s in macOS CI's race pass, so the budget set on 2026-10-17 from one ten-minute run no longer fits macOS, and no preflight here can mint a receipt.

Grounds

• pursued: the three packages finish inside 40 minutes here; a preflight that still times one out at 40m shows it wrong
