Joseph Doherty 513fa1aa16 docs(tests): fix CommentChecker findings across tests/ — 13,392 → 0 (repo-wide scan clean)
Comment/XML-doc changes only:
- add summaries to ~10k test methods, fixtures, fakes and helpers
  (+ <param> on theories, <returns> on async Task methods,
  <inheritdoc/> on interface implementations the checker can resolve)
- strip ~2.6k project-tracking references (WP*, P*-*, row-NN, Task N,
  #NN, Component-0NN) from comments, keeping the explanatory text;
  reword false positives in comments only
- real docs on fakes implementing BCL/library interfaces
  (IDisposable, ILogger, IOptionsMonitor, IAsyncLifetime)
- reword the last 5 src/ false positives (CWE-1236, failures-1,
  year-0001, M365)

Only non-comment edits: four one-line nested classes split across lines
so members can carry docs. Build 0 errors / 0 warnings.

Joseph Doherty 4a6341d871 feat(cluster): self-first seed ordering closes the boot-alone outage gap
Every node now lists ITSELF as seed-nodes[0] and its partner second. Akka runs
FirstSeedNodeProcess -- the only bootstrap path that can form a NEW cluster when
no peer answers InitJoin -- exclusively for seed-nodes[0]; every other node runs
JoinSeedNodeProcess and retries InitJoin forever. That is why a lone cold-starting
central-b never came Up (the "registered outage gap"), and self-first ordering
closes it using Akka's own protocol.

- 6 node appsettings swapped (the *-node-b configs; the -a nodes were already
  self-first). All 14 shipped node configs now satisfy the invariant.
- StartupValidator enforces it at boot, comparing host AND port -- the invariant
  fails silently when broken, so it is enforced loudly. NOTE: the gitignored
  deploy/wonder-app-vd03/ overlay must be reordered before its next deploy or
  that node will refuse to boot.
- SelfFirstSeedBootstrapTests: real in-process clusters at production
  failure-detection timings, incl. a falsifiability control proving the OLD
  peer-first ordering never forms.

Rejected alternative (implemented, measured, discarded): an external self-form
timer calling Cluster.Join(SelfAddress) after a window. It sits outside Akka's
join handshake and so cannot tell "no seed answered" from "a seed answered and
the join is in flight". On a routine standby restart the peer is alive but the
join stalls behind removal of the node's own stale incarnation; a Join(self)
during TryingToJoin abandons the in-flight join and forms a second cluster at
the same address -- still split after 90s. Docs that claimed self-first ordering
was unsafe for simultaneous cold start are corrected: while mutually reachable
the InitJoin handshake converges them to one cluster (measured).
