Stamp the Stop settlement after the ingestion drain. A provider task.updated(running) event without sessionSequence is stored without a sequence, so the lifecycle query orders it by createdAt. If the drain accepts that event after the Stop request, the settlement row uses the older request timestamp and sorts before it. The fold then applies running last and keeps the task live. Capture a fresh timestamp after the drain and pass it to settleThreadTasks. Update the test so evt-drain-child-late-running has a timestamp later than the Stop request; it currently uses the same now value.

1701 - 1705, Capture a fresh timestamp after the ingestion drain completes, then
pass it as createdAt to settleThreadTasks for the interrupted Stop settlement so
it sorts after late running events. Update the test fixture
evt-drain-child-late-running to use a timestamp later than the Stop request
instead of the shared now value.
