Issue #127: the SSH-round-trip oracle skips macOS CI, and its job gets headroom

The macos legs died at timeout-minutes=30 with the suite only 15% done:
measured 14.4 tests/min vs ubuntu's 253 -- and 1,482 of the 1,780 seconds
spent sat in one file, TestLocalAndRemoteAgree. Every case is a real
SSH round-trip against the in-process server, and macOS CI runners pay
Gatekeeper verification on every process spawn.

That class now skips where it hurts (darwin AND CI); developer macOS and
two other platforms keep the full oracle coverage. The test job's bound
moves to 45 minutes so a slow leg reports pass/fail instead of being
executed for time.
