- *     10-minute staleness window) and does NOT consume the settle budget. When
- *     that ceiling is reached with the lock still held, the result is unsettled
- *     with `lockHeldAtEnd` true so the seam can report a distinct `lock-held`
- *     outcome and remedy rather than telling the user to reinstall over a live
- *     writer.
- * Each poll's REAL elapsed interval (now() deltas) is attributed to the locked or
- * unlocked bucket by whether a fresh foreign lock was held when the interval
- * began, so a starved event loop only makes the wait coarser, never unbounded. A
- * stale lock (dead pid, older than the staleness window, unparseable) or our own
- * pid never extends anything. The whole wait is bounded (≤ `deadlineMs +
- * lockWaitMs`), and the unchanged-tree path normally returns after the much
- * shorter `staleProbeMs` observation window.
+ * `deadlineMs` passes. READY means: (i) no FRESH update lock held by another pid,
+ * (ii) the missing target is present, and — when `packageRoot` is known —
+ * (iii) `<packageRoot>/package.json` parses with `name === CLI_NAME` and
+ * (iv) no `.<leaf>-<rand>` retired sibling remains beside it. Every filesystem
+ * error makes its condition "not ready" rather than throwing. `deadlineMs === 0`
+ * evaluates readiness exactly once (no waiting); otherwise the whole wait is
+ * bounded, so the caller can never hang.
