fix test: update hardcoded seed date to stay within 14-day age limit

[jlin53882]

Summary

Fixes CI failure in \ est/reflection-bypass-hook.test.mjs.

Root Cause Analysis

The test seeds a derived reflection entry with a hardcoded date:

\\js
runAt: Date.UTC(2026, 2, 12, 15, 0, 0) // March 12, 2026
\\

The production age filter in \src/reflection-store.ts\ has a 14-day hard limit on derived entries:

\\js
export const DEFAULT_REFLECTION_DERIVED_MAX_AGE_MS = 14 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; // 14 days

// rankReflectionLines():
if (now - timestamp > options.maxAgeMs!) {
continue; // filtered out
}
\\

Current date is 2026-03-27 — the seeded entry is 15 days old, exceeding the 14-day threshold. The derived entry is silently filtered out, causing all assertions against <derived-focus>\ to fail.

Note: The production code logic is correct. This is a test maintenance issue — the hardcoded date has simply expired past the age threshold.

Why Invariants Pass But Derived Fails

• \invariantMaxAgeMs\ → \undefined\ → age check skipped (no filtering)
• \deriveMaxAgeMs\ → \14 days\ → age check applies (filters out 15-day-old entry)

Fix

Updated seed date from \2026-03-12\ to \2026-03-26\ (2 days ago), keeping the entry well within the 14-day window.

Impact

• Severity: CI regression (pre-existing, unrelated to any active PR)
• Production impact: None
• Test impact: Fixes 4 failing subtests in
  eflection-bypass-hook.test.mjs\

Fixes #384.

Use a relative seed timestamp in the age-limited test

This change keeps runAt hardcoded to a calendar date (2026-03-26), so the test remains time-brittle and will start failing again once the run date is more than 14 days later (on or after 2026-04-10), because derived reflections are filtered by DEFAULT_REFLECTION_DERIVED_MAX_AGE_MS in rankReflectionLines. To avoid repeated CI breakage, compute runAt relative to execution time (for example, Date.now() - 2 * 24h) instead of pinning another fixed date.
