Two real bugs and two stale rationales.
The OIDC fallback probes were issued with `{ headers }` and no signal,
so a caller that aborted after the initial 404 got a timeout reported
in place of its own cancellation, while the probe ran on to its own
deadline. The probes now carry the caller's signal — via the shared
`callerSignalOf`, so the precedence rule has one definition — a
pre-aborted caller is not probed at all, and an abort is rethrown
rather than folded back into the preceding response.
`Math.max(0, Math.round(timeoutMs))` let NaN and Infinity through.
`setTimeout(fn, NaN)` fires immediately, and a delay above 2**31-1
overflows a 32-bit signed int and falls back to 1ms — so a caller
asking for a very large budget, or one whose arithmetic produced NaN,
got an immediate OAuth timeout. `normalizeBudget` falls back to the
default on non-finite and clamps to the timer's range; the route's
envelope-supplied deadline gets the same clamp, but ignores a
non-finite value outright since a malformed deadline reads safest as
no deadline.
The wire-marker docblock and the matching route test still said a
backend deadline is the only one on the transport-internal discovery
path, which round 11 changed. Both now give the real reason the marker
matters: both ends run the same budget, and it is the backend winning
the race — a backgrounded tab throttling setTimeout — that must not
decide whether the error names its endpoint.
