Faster tests: hostile_params_never_panic shares its commands across threads (154 s to 20 s), the design-file fuzz test tries its seeded cases on all cores (21 s to 7.5 s), the kernel's tangent-primitive boolean test runs its three seeds at once, and the headless scenario harness skips the software viewport render it threw away every frame (scenarios 63 s to 26 s). kill_mid_save waits for the saver to reach a varying round instead of sleeping a fixed time, so it holds on a busy machine
