P2: Without a start barrier, this test can pass even when the handover-extension it exists to verify is removed. The 600ms budget is measured from each child's own start, so the last child only falls through unlocked if it waits behind two full 400ms holds; a ~300ms startup stagger on a loaded CI lets it acquire within its own budget and the assertion never sees UNLOCKED. Add the same ready-directory barrier used by the sibling "excludes concurrent processes" test so all three children start contending from the same instant.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add a readiness barrier before starting the lock.

The three Bun.spawn calls start independently. A slow child can enter after an earlier holder exits, so this test can pass without exercising the second handover and deadline renewal described in Lines 136-170. Make each child announce readiness, release all children together, and then call withInstallLock. Reuse the readiness-barrier pattern from the earlier multi-process test in this file.
