// extend that deadline, so a healthy-but-slow run is given room while a hung one
// is killed. When the deadline passes because the critic KILLED the run
// (KillCause() != nil), the cancellation cause is ErrCriticKill (→ status
// "killed"); when the backstop simply expired, it is context.DeadlineExceeded (→
// "timeout"). Returns (nil, no-op stop) when there is no critic. The caller MUST
// defer the returned stop.
//
// softTrigger is the run's resolved MaxRuntime: for a critic-owned run MaxRuntime
// is the soft wake (mort's two-tier semantics — the critic first reviews once the
// run exceeds its nominal budget, and its backstop = softTrigger × multiplier).
// It falls back to the configured CriticSoftTimeout when the run set no MaxRuntime.
