Four Core tests prove that importing a module has no side effects. Each one
does a cold dynamic import() of a large Core source graph inside its test
body:
- doctor-import
- module-http-import
- cli-bootstrap-platform-owner
- cli-create-initial-owner (its first test)

Vitest transforms and evaluates that graph on demand, so the CPU-bound cost
counts against the default 5 s per-test timeout. Ordinary test files import
at the top level, outside any test timeout. There is no subprocess, shared
resource, or test bug.

Measured on six cores:
- alone: 0.7–1.2 s;
- alongside five other packages' suites, as in a full pnpm verify:
  3.0–5.4 s (doctor-import reached 5,400 ms).

A shared IMPORT_SAFETY_TEST_TIMEOUT_MS of 30 s (core/tests/support/
import-safety.ts) now applies to exactly these four tests. That is about five
times the slowest time measured under load, the same as the repository's
integration-test timeout, and still bounded, so an import that genuinely
hangs fails. Assertions, coverage, the global Vitest timeout, parallelism,
and production code are unchanged; there are no retries.

/**
* The per-test timeout for Core's import-safety tests, and only those.
*
* Each of these tests proves that importing a module does nothing (no I/O, no connection, no output)
* by performing a cold dynamic `import()` of a large Core source graph inside the test body. Vitest
* transforms and evaluates that whole graph on demand, and that work is CPU-bound. An ordinary test
* file's own top-level imports run before its tests start and fall under no per-test timeout; these
* deliberately do not, so the cost lands inside Vitest's default 5-second test timeout.
*
* Alone they take about 0.7–1.2 s. During a full `pnpm verify`, Turbo runs every package's suite at
* once and the CPU is saturated. Reproduced locally (six cores, Core's suite alongside five other
* packages' suites), the same tests took 3.0–5.4 s, and so timed out intermittently.
*
* 30 seconds is about five times the slowest time measured under load, which leaves room for slower
* shared CI runners. It matches the repository's integration-test timeout. It is still bounded, so a
* module that genuinely hangs while being imported, for example on a network call, still fails. The
* assertions themselves are unchanged: these tests fail on what an import does, never on speed.
