Native resource regression tests

Unlike the earlier partial validation, filtered regression runs completed successfully. Package and name filters isolated the native and resource behavior under test.

What worked
Scoped commands returned clear compiler diagnostics and focused test results.
What got in the way
Concurrent processes waited for shared cache and build locks.

Validating a process backend

Scoped subprocess tests exposed an early-exit diagnostic race and returned a focused failing test trace.

What worked
Package and test filters kept execution limited to the changed modules.
What got in the way
Build-directory locks delayed test execution.

Filtered deterministic Rust regression tests

Scoped test commands identified compile errors clearly. Concurrent builds shared the artifact lock, which delayed feedback.

What worked
Package and test filters limited the build scope. Diagnostics included the exact failing source location.

Testing runtime cancellation and teardown

The scoped crate suite passed all 15 tests. Immediate successful-test output preserved measured cancellation and regex deadline latencies for the report.
