+/**
+ * Pure `game.fastForward` batching/accounting math — no Playwright (same
+ * "pure module, Playwright-free" split `wait-for.ts` established, so this
+ * unit-tests headlessly). `client.ts`'s `GameClient.fastForward` is the
+ * thin Playwright-bound wrapper around `runFastForward` below, exactly the
+ * way `GameClient.waitFor` wraps `runWaitFor`.
+ *
+ * The shape: `game.fastForward({simSeconds}|{simTicks})` synchronously
+ * drives the live `Game`'s `runTicks` (through the debug bridge, door (a))
+ * instead of relying on real wall-clock time to pass. Doctrine:
+ * fastForward is for SETUP/STAGING traversal —
+ * reaching a known late-game state fast — not a replacement for real-input
+ * proofs, which still run in real ticks; a scripted/scheduled input sequence
+ * driven THROUGH a fastForward burst is still an honest proof of "what the sim
+ * consumed" (the post-gate recording framing) — fastForward changes
+ * how fast ticks are produced, never what a tick consumes.
+ *
+ * Two honesty decisions this module encodes, both because burst ticks are NOT
+ * ordinary wall-clock-paced simulation and must never be reported as if they
+ * were (the "never fabricate" rule threaded through `perf-sampling.ts`/
+ * `failure-block.ts`):
+ *
+ *  1. **Batching, not one giant `runTicks` call.** A single call driving (say)
+ *     an hour of sim time would (a) block the page's JS thread for the ENTIRE
+ *     burst with zero observable progress, and (b) starve anything watching
+ *     this run's stdout for liveness for however long the burst takes — a
+ *     false "wedged" verdict on a run that was making fine (just silent)
+ *     progress. Batching into `DEFAULT_FAST_FORWARD_BATCH_TICKS`-sized chunks
+ *     with one heartbeat per chunk (`client.ts` prints it) keeps output flowing
+ *     without giving up the speedup — each batch is still driven synchronously
+ *     in-page; only the ROUND TRIP is chunked.
+ *  2. **Burst ticks never feed the ordinary tps stats.** `perf-sampling.ts`'s
+ *     `TpsAccumulator` measures REAL wall-clock throughput between ordinary
+ *     `snapshot()` polls — its whole purpose is "is the game's frame loop
+ *     keeping up in real time." A burst of, say, 1800 ticks completed in
+ *     ~50ms would produce a `~36000 ticks/s` sample that means nothing about
+ *     the game's real per-frame cost, and would silently corrupt the p50/p95
+ *     a genuine stall would otherwise surface in. `client.ts`'s `fastForward`
+ *     therefore drives every batch through a RAW bridge call (bypassing
+ *     `GameClient.snapshot()`'s automatic `TpsAccumulator.record`) and resets
+ *     the accumulator's baseline once the burst completes, so the very next
+ *     ordinary poll starts a fresh "first observation" instead of diffing
+ *     across the burst discontinuity. The whole-TEST `simSpeedRatio` (fixture
+ *     teardown, `perf-sampling.ts`) is NOT protected this way, deliberately:
+ *     it is an honest end-to-end ratio (fence snapshot -> final snapshot),
+ *     not a sampled rate, and showing "this test ran at 400x" when it
+ *     genuinely did IS the correct, undistorted signal. `waitFor` budgets are
+ *     themselves unaffected by any of this — they are still sim-time
+ *     budgets; a `fastForward` immediately before one just leaves less real
+ *     ground for it to cover (sim-time got CHEAPER, not redefined).
