Summary

Search acceptance can fail before exercising its navigation assertion because the browser clock has already passed the host-selected pause time. Freeze its wall time before pausing at that exact instant, then restore normal time during cleanup. The held-admission race and every existing assertion remain unchanged.

Also restore two existing TSDoc blocks to the declarations they document after helper extraction.

Type of Change

• Bug fix
• Documentation

Testing

• A completed hosted Search run demonstrates the pre-fix failure: pauseAt: Cannot fast-forward to the past.
• Independently checked the mechanism against the pinned Playwright clock implementation.
• Hosted CI validates formatting, audits, types, tests, builds and selected acceptance suites; no local builds or test suites were run.
• No product behavior, test skips, retries or timeout budgets change.

Checklist

• Code follows project style guidelines
• Self-reviewed my changes
• Tests updated and passing in hosted CI
• No new warnings introduced by design
• I confirm that I have read and agree to the terms outlined in the Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
