Research direction

Read the paused-reader regression in integrationTests/server/typestrip.test.ts and the repository's test-timing guidance. Keep the one-second wait and existing assertions, and clarify that the elapsed-time window detects a producer that would finish without a bound. Done when only the comment wording changes and explains the purpose of the wait.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The paused-reader regression in integrationTests/server/typestrip.test.ts waits one second before asserting that its producer has not finished. Its comment says that a paused reader must not let the bounded producer finish.

The comment is retained to explain an intentional non-event wait, following the repository's test-timing guidance. Review noted that its wording also repeats the adjacent assertions. Clarify why an elapsed-time window is needed to detect an unbounded producer, while preserving the wait and assertions. This is comment wording only; no runtime failure was observed and no release is committed.
