Report the macOS validation status for the portable deadline.

The tests force the non-GNU branch with timeoutTool: "non-gnu", but they do not execute it on macOS. The fallback depends on macOS behavior for setpgrp, negative-process-group kill -0, and the trapped-signal wait loop. Add the macOS result to the PR, or state explicitly that macOS validation was not executed. Include whether the hang cases return 124/137 and remove a TERM-ignoring child.

In `@scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh` around lines 77 - 125, Update the PR
validation report for run_with_batch_deadline to state whether macOS validation
was executed and report whether hang cases return 124/137 and remove a
TERM-ignoring child; if macOS validation was not executed, state that
explicitly.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep a batch-level deadline in the fallback path.

When GNU timeout is unavailable, this branch starts Bun without the configured ${BATCH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS}s process deadline. A stalled Bun process that is not an individual test timeout can then hold the CI shard indefinitely.

Use a portable watchdog that terminates the Bun process or process group after BATCH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, or fail explicitly when no bounded fallback is available. Do not bypass the batch deadline.

As per coding guidelines: “Use explicit paths, deterministic inputs, bounded resource use, and actionable failures.” As per path instructions: flag changes that weaken CI gating.

In `@scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh` at line 109, Update the fallback branch
in the batch execution flow to enforce the configured BATCH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS
deadline when GNU timeout is unavailable. Use a portable watchdog that
terminates Bun or its process group, or fail explicitly if no bounded fallback
can be provided; do not launch an unbounded Bun process.
