Merge branch 'staging' into fix/pairing-approval

These tests guard against catastrophic regex backtracking (seconds/minutes),
not 12ms differences. CI runners with coverage instrumentation (cargo-llvm-cov)
consistently exceed the 100ms threshold due to overhead, causing flaky failures.
500ms still catches real regressions while tolerating CI variability.
