The authored window was persisted and consumed by nothing. It now (clamped 1-120 s)
extends the Sparkplug OpenBudget, bounds a passive UntilStable-style settle on open
(return after a 1 s quiet spell in NBIRTH/DBIRTH traffic), and bounds how long an
operator rebirth request waits for the births it asked for before returning, so the
re-rendered tree carries them. A caller deadline during the wait still reports the
publish.
