TEST: freeze query clocks in analytics identity checks

[Richard Lundeen (richlundeen)]

Description

Freeze the query-control clock in the analytics identity unit tests. Keep the event-loop clock, database operations, 20-second query deadline values, and identity assertions unchanged.

The tests check grouping, filters, facets, pagination, and identifier replacement. They do not check query latency. Their _control() helper uses a real monotonic deadline. CI can consume that budget during correct SQLite work, so QueryControl.check() raises AnalyticsTimeoutException before the identity assertions run.

The fixture replaces only the time reference in pyrit.memory.query_control. It restores the reference after each test. It does not replace the process-wide clock or the remaining and check implementations. A regression test advances the runner clock past the deadline and checks that the identity-test budget stays unchanged.

Category: test-defect. Confidence: high, from the CI traceback, code, and a deterministic local clock-jump reproduction. The defect is present on origin/main.

Error: AnalyticsTimeoutException: Status Code: 504, Message: Analytics query timed out. Narrow the filters or retry.

Duplicate search: searched both test functions, the test filename, both full fingerprints, and the timeout error; checked open PR file lists, merged PRs from the past 14 days, open issues, and all-state PRs with the automation fingerprint line. No existing PR freezes this test clock. PR #3171 changes target identity rules and adds tests, but leaves the real-time control unchanged. PR #3220 only changes a message-send test. No related open issue was found.

Tests and Documentation

• Baseline: uv run --no-sync pytest -n 4 --dist=loadfile tests\unit\backend\test_message_send_service.py tests\unit\memory\test_attack_analytics_eval_identity.py -q: one run, 177 passed, zero failed runs. The CI load-dependent failure did not reproduce in this run.
• Regression before the fixture: uv run --no-sync pytest -n 4 --dist=loadfile tests\unit\memory\test_attack_analytics_eval_identity.py::test_identity_query_deadline_does_not_follow_runner_clock -q: one run, one expected failure with the same AnalyticsTimeoutException.
• After the fix: uv run --no-sync pytest -n 4 --dist=loadfile tests\unit\memory\test_attack_analytics_eval_identity.py -q: 20 runs of the final file, six passed per run, zero failed runs. An earlier repeat series had seven complete passing runs, zero observed test failures, and one interrupted run. It was stopped to correct a type-only import; the full 20-run series was then started again.
• uv run --no-sync ruff check tests\unit\memory\test_attack_analytics_eval_identity.py and uv run --no-sync ruff format --check tests\unit\memory\test_attack_analytics_eval_identity.py: passed after moving the type-only Iterator import into the existing type-checking block.
• uv run --no-sync pre-commit run --all-files: could not complete. Hook environment installation fails when Windows creates a long Jedi stub path for nbQA. Standard, short-drive, and extended-path attempts during this run did not remove the hook setup blocker. No hook was disabled.
• Validation used Windows and Python 3.12.12. The failing macOS matrix was not reproduced.
• Added a clock-isolation regression test. No product behavior or documentation changes are required.

This PR is a draft because the full pre-commit run is blocked by the local Windows hook environment.
