Subject: [PATCH] test: let the wedged-worker regression post its child-start
 first
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The regression's script spun immediately after calling agent(), but the
agent() continuation (which posts the child-start RPC) only runs on a
microtask tick — the spin seized the worker's loop before the post, so
the host never saw a child inside the waitFor window. A few await-null
yields before the spin let the RPC out; the posted message needs no
further worker-loop turns to reach the host, so the wedge still holds
for the Cancel message the test is about.
