Worker-001: WnWrapAlarmConsumer armed a System.Threading.Timer whose OnPoll
callback ran GetXmlCurrentAlarms2 on a thread-pool thread against the
Apartment-threaded wnwrap COM object, which can deadlock on cross-apartment
marshaling. Removed the pollTimer/pollIntervalMs fields, OnPoll, the
poll-interval constructor parameter, and the timer arm/disposal. Polls are
driven externally by the STA via StaRuntime.InvokeAsync(PollOnce).
Worker-002: RunHeartbeatLoopAsync delayed a full HeartbeatInterval before
the first heartbeat. Restructured so the first beat is sent immediately on
entering the loop and the delay applies only between subsequent beats.
Worker-003: ProcessCommandAsync silently returned without a reply when
_state was not a command-serving state after dispatch. Both drop sites now
log a WorkerCommandResultDropped diagnostic with correlation_id via
IWorkerLogger; _state is now volatile.
Three pre-existing tests that asserted strict frame ordering were updated to
tolerate an interleaved first heartbeat (Worker-002 consequence).
