fix(run): address round-2 gadfly nits (max(), drop dead soft fallback, decouple doc)
executus CI / test (pull_request) Successful in 49s

All low-severity follow-ups on the critic-deadline change:
- hardCap uses max(CriticAbsoluteMax, maxRuntime) instead of a nested if (723193a7).
- Drop the now-dead 90s soft-trigger fallback + its bare literal: the sole caller
  passes the resolved MaxRuntime (>0), and Run's unsupervised-run failsafe bounds
  even an impossible 0 (8d377051, 2f86bf58).
- Decouple the kernel doc from a named downstream convar ("a 6h host convar")
  (730c67fc).

Graded false-positive: agent.go BackstopMultiplier validation (handled in the host;
not in this diff), the 24h default "magic number" (matches every withFallbacks
default), and the defer-in-conditional pattern (idiomatic). Kept: the thorough
two-tier comment (this logic regressed once) and the rare-path nested timer.
