test(server): drain heartbeat runs to quiescence before low-trust teardown (#10450)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI work through tasks, comments, and heartbeats
> - A heartbeat wake can register after a test body ends
> - The low-trust red-team route suite tears down data while that wake
can still run
> - Teardown can then lock `issues` and `heartbeat_runs` in opposite
order and deadlock
> - This pull request adds a drain that waits for heartbeat runs to
reach quiescence before teardown
> - The benefit is stable test teardown without removing coverage

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

The serialized low-trust red-team route suite can deadlock in
`afterEach` teardown.
A heartbeat wake can register after the test body ends.
Teardown can then delete `heartbeat_runs` while the wake still writes
issue tables.
This change waits until no run is queued or running before any delete.

## What Changed

- Added `drainHeartbeatRunsToQuiescence` for test teardown.
- Called the drain first in the low-trust red-team route suite
`afterEach` path.
- Kept the change test-teardown only.

## Verification

- The author handoff reports `tsc -p server/tsconfig.json --noEmit` as
clean.
- The author handoff reports 60 of 60 stress-loop runs with zero
deadlocks.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` could not run here
because this workspace lacks `node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc`.

## Risks

- Low risk.
- The change only affects test teardown.
- If a wake never reaches registration, the drain can wait longer than
expected.
- The loop re-checks the run table until no run is queued or running.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5, tool-use, 256k context.
