// Regression tests for #1285:
//
// Bug A: per-hash evidence's MedianCorrectedSkewSec includes 700-day RTC-reset
//        outliers, dragging the displayed median into "−704d 18h" garbage even
//        though every recent sample is small (< 30s).
//
// Bug B: RecentBadSampleCount counts samples outside the *displayed* recent
//        window (or counts against raw skew, not corrected) → "3 of last 5
//        adverts had nonsense timestamps" warning fires on healthy nodes.
//
// Both must pass without disturbing the existing bimodal / no-clock logic.
