fix(runtime-fallback): broaden watchdog progress detection + harden test timing

Addresses two issues identified by cubic on PR #3952.

1. Watchdog cancellation was too narrow — only `text`/`reasoning` parts
   counted as progress, so a subagent that immediately ran tools
   (Read/Bash/Edit) emitted `tool`/`tool_use`/`tool_result`/`tool-call`/
   `step-start` parts that the watchdog ignored, risking a false fire
   on actively-working subagents. Broaden to: any assistant part of any
   known type counts as progress (the model has started responding,
   whether or not visible text has arrived yet). `info.error` and
   `info.finish` continue to cancel.

2. Test timing margins were tight (15ms pre-cancel against a 40ms
   timer), risking CI flakiness on loaded runners. Bumped to a 100ms
   threshold with a 40ms pre-cancel window and a 250ms post-fire wait,
   giving a 60ms margin before the timer fires and ~2.5x the threshold
   after — robust against scheduler delay.

Refactor for testability: extracted the OpenCode-event→watchdog-signal
translation out of `hook.ts` into an exported `observeEventForWatchdog`
helper on the watchdog module. This let me add direct unit tests for
every part-type case (text, reasoning, tool, tool_use, tool_result,
tool-call, step-start, file) plus the error/finish/empty-parts branches
without spinning up the full hook. Net diff: hook.ts shrinks, watchdog
module gains a small pure function with parametrised coverage.
