test: cover propagation/freshness_monitor

10 characterization tests: fresh vs stale thresholds (>120 min),
boundary behavior, empty scores dir, supervised start, non-dedup of
repeated stale ticks, :ignore when disabled via config.

defmodule Microwaveprop.Propagation.FreshnessMonitorTest do
@moduledoc """
Characterization tests for `FreshnessMonitor`.
The monitor is a simple GenServer that polls propagation score
freshness on a 5-minute timer. On each tick it reads
`Propagation.latest_valid_time/0` (which reads `ScoresFile`
on disk) and enqueues a `PropagationGridWorker` job when either
no scores exist yet or the newest score file is older than
120 minutes.
These tests drive the tick path synchronously by invoking
`handle_info(:check, state)` from the test process inside
`Oban.Testing.with_testing_mode(:manual, ...)` that keeps
`Oban.insert` from executing the job inline, letting us assert
on enqueued jobs via `all_enqueued/1`. One smoke test exercises
the supervised startup path with a fresh ScoresFile so no enqueue
is attempted.
The interval (`@check_interval = 5 min`) and staleness threshold
(`@stale_threshold_minutes = 120`) are compile-time module
attributes with no runtime override, so we can't shrink the
interval we exercise the tick directly instead.
