//! Sleep + wait-with-timeout timers.
//!
//! A min-heap of `(deadline, seq, reason)` entries lives on `SchedulerState`.
//! When an actor sleeps or starts a bounded wait (e.g. `mutex.lock()` with a
//! timeout), the runtime inserts an entry, marks the actor parked, and yields.
//! On every scheduler loop iteration the runtime pops all entries whose
//! deadline has passed and dispatches each according to its `Reason`:
//!
//! - `Sleep`: unpark the actor.
//! - `WaitTimeout`: call `on_timeout` on the registered target. The target
//! (e.g. a `Mutex`) decides whether the actor was actually still waiting
//! (timer fires first → unpark with error) or had already been granted
//! what it was waiting for (lock granted first → no-op).
//!
//! `BinaryHeap` is a max-heap; entries are wrapped in `Reverse` to get
//! min-heap behaviour.
//!
//! Cancellation is selective. A `Sleep` / `WaitTimeout` entry is left in the
//! heap on a non-timer wakeup (lock granted before timeout): it is popped
//! eventually and no-ops because a stale unpark fails its epoch CAS — cheap
//! (~32 bytes per stale entry plus a few cycles on pop), bounded by one entry
//! per parked actor. A `Send` entry is different: running its thunk delivers a
//! real message, so a stale one is *not* inert. `send_after` therefore carries
//! true cancellation via the `armed` set keyed on the entry's `seq`; `pop_due`
//! fires a `Send` only while it is still armed, and `cancel` removes the arm.
//!
//! Stale pids (slot reused since the timer was inserted) are filtered on
//! pop by the scheduler — same convention as the run queue.
