This PR adds a comprehensive CPU-only fault-injection harness for testing deterministic restart semantics. The implementation is well-structured and thoroughly tested across 17 fault injection points with 6 different seeds (102 total test cases).
Key strengths:
- Clear separation between durable and volatile state with proper validation
- Comprehensive fault coverage including initialization, checkpoint validation, ingress, tick execution, metric publication, and shutdown boundaries
- Oracle function (
expected_outcome) that documents expected behavior for each fault point and is validated by tests - Proper handling of incomplete ticks with replay protection to prevent double-counting
- Monotonic session IDs with proper increment across restarts
The code is well-tested, follows Rust best practices, and correctly implements the stated contract. No blocking issues found.
You can now have the agent implement changes and create commits directly on your pull request's source branch. Simply comment with /q followed by your request in natural language to ask the agent to make changes.

FaultPoint and update RuntimeHarness::apply_fault to set health from it instead
of expected_outcome(point).terminal_health. Preserve the listed health
classifications, keep expected_outcome available for assertions elsewhere, and
remove only its import if it is no longer needed in the harness.
In `@src/runtime/mod.rs`:
- Line 564: Update the clock assertion in the harness test to compare
h.clock().now_ns() against the clock’s seeded start value, rather than the fixed
TICK_PERIOD_NS * 8 threshold, so it verifies begin_tick advanced time. Use the
existing HarnessBuilder::build seed initialization behavior when determining the
expected baseline.

User description
Closes LIM-1218.
Add a CPU-only fake-clock / fake-core harness that injects faults at runtime lifecycle boundaries and proves restart preserves only explicitly durable state.
