-/**
- * @file Reading the keyframe table of a file: once, whoever asks, with a bound
- * on how long anybody waits for it.
- *
- * The table itself is `container/KeyframeTable.js`, one object per file. This is
- * the policy around filling it in, and it is a policy because three things had
- * to be true at once and each of them was learned from a field session:
- *
- * 1. **once per file, and one WAIT per file.** Two sessions created in the same
- *    moment used to miss the cache together and read the table twice — which is
- *    what two viewers opening one film do, measured 13 ms apart on 2026-09-03.
- *    Whoever asks second joins the read already running;
- * 2. **the wait is bounded, the READ is not.** A picture cannot be copied
- *    without the table, so the answer to "not yet" is to re-encode — but the
- *    read goes on, lands in the file's own table, and is there for whoever holds
- *    it. Cancelling it would make every later viewer pay the whole wait again;
- * 3. **a read that THREW is not an answer.** "The head is not downloaded" says
- *    nothing about the file; turning it into "this file has no keyframes" makes
- *    every picture of it a re-encode for as long as the process lives. Bytes
- *    that have not arrived reach here as `BytesUnavailable` — until 2026-10-01
- *    they came back as a reading of no times, which `KeyframeTable.learn`
- *    records as answered, so point 3 held only for reads that crashed. When
- *    pieces of such a file arrive the read is made again
- *    (`readAgainIfUnanswered`), and its answer lands in the same table.
- *
- * **What it does NOT know.** Where the bytes come from. The reader is one
- * function handed in at construction — on this proxy it crosses to the torrent
- * thread, where one container per file answers the track table and the media
- * info from the same header — so this can be exercised with plain values alone.
- * It used to live in the session manager, which also carried a SECOND reader
- * that fetched the file over the proxy's own HTTP and parsed it there: a
- * transport inside a layer that must not have one, and a second answer to a
- * question with one owner.
- *
- * **Why this is not `ContainerOrchestrator`.** Both live on the main thread
- * (the parse moved there on 2026-09-15). That one holds the file's one
- * container, which keeps its own reading of the Cues table; this keeps the
- * ANSWER the sessions hold — the keyframe times taken from that reading, and
- * the wait around it, which a container cannot have because it does not know
- * there is a viewer.

-/**
- * How long anybody waits for the table before giving up on copying the picture.
- *
- * Measured on the addon host, 2026-09-04, over seventeen files from
- * `Dropbox/trn` — four containers, pieces from 0.25 to 16 MB, files from 0.36 to
- * 20 GB, each torrent registered fresh so nothing of it was downloaded
- * (`research/keyframe-table-read-2026-09-04.md`). Every table that arrived did
- * so within 24.8 s, most within half a second; the two files that answered
- * nothing took 120.9 s and 120.5 s.
- *
- * Those two figures are not a coincidence and they are what fixes this one:
- * they are TWO of the bound the read already has — `READ_ABANDON_MS` in
- * `torrent/worker/resume-warm.js`, one for the wait on the file's edges and
