53/// The one named deadline every reader gives a synchronous control-frame reply.
54///
55/// Five seconds — the estate's already-ratified value, generalized rather than
56/// re-chosen: the WebSocket socket layer and the TCP subscription reader both
57/// already read `Duration::from_secs(5)`, and the TCP push reader is the odd one
58/// out. Ruled 2026-07-28 by Waffles the Terrible, coordinator seat
59/// (PUSH-HANDSHAKE-DEADLINE; see `docs/design/WIRING-LEDGER.md` and
60/// `docs/design/sdk/briefs/SDK-010.json`).
61///
62/// It is armed for the control exchange ONLY — `Connect`/`ConnectAck`,
63/// `WorkerRegister`/`WorkerRegisterAck`, `Subscribe`/`SubscribeAck` — and
64/// disarmed with `set_read_timeout(None)` before any background reader starts.
65/// It MUST NOT survive into steady state: a deadline that outlives its exchange
66/// is just a slower cadence, and LAW-1 refuses cadences whatever their period.
67///
68/// What it replaces was never chosen. `connect_socket` armed a 100 ms reader
69/// poll cadence before the handshake, and the synchronous setup read was fatal
70/// on the first timeout — composing, by accident, into a 100 ms-per-read fatal
71/// deadline on connect. Nobody chose it.
