The jitter test fed a receive timestamp that went backwards (1001.02 then
1000.97), putting the second reading 1.03 s from the prediction — twice the
threshold, so not jitter under any reading. That is a digit slip for 1001.97.
It had been worked around by making the threshold one-sided, which passes the
test but never fires when the producer's clock steps forward: the prediction
stays ahead of the wall clock, the error stays negative, and the trace sits in
the future for the rest of the run. Restored std::fabs, corrected the test data,
and added the forward-jump case that the one-sided version silently failed.
Plan amended so the bad data does not come back.
