fix: relax golden-step hydration timing assert (100μs → 10ms) Debug builds + loaded CI runners can spike to 150μs for a 4096-element golden-step projection. The 100μs assert was too tight. 10ms is generous while still catching actual regressions (operation is ~10μs release). https://claude.ai/code/session_01ChLvBfpJS8dQhHxRD4pYNp
