// real fs work — purely as overhead, which is enough to blow the 10s test
// timeout on a busy machine. A coarse interval leaves the loop nearly idle

Cancel or await startup before restoring timers.

If bootstrap is incomplete, FastChecker.start() remains inside waitForBootstrap(). stop() only sets running and clears an existing heartbeat timer. wake() does not resolve the separate bootstrap sleep. The startup promise and its SIGUSR1 listener can therefore remain pending after afterEach calls vi.useRealTimers().

Add a regression test for teardown during bootstrap. Make waitForBootstrap() cancellable and guard post-bootstrap setup with running, or await the startup promise before restoring timers.

In `@tests/unit/daemon/fast-checker.test.ts` at line 860, Update the FastChecker
teardown and startup flow so bootstrap cannot remain pending when tests restore
real timers: make waitForBootstrap cancellable, or await the startup promise
before vi.useRealTimers(), and ensure post-bootstrap setup is skipped when
running is false. Add a regression test covering teardown while bootstrap is in
progress, using FastChecker.start(), stop(), wake(), and the existing
startedCheckers cleanup path.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli.
