Make the parked-worker setup deterministic.

parentPort.postMessage("parking") runs before Atomics.wait(), so await Bun.sleep(100) does not prove that the worker entered the futex. An unfixed implementation can terminate during this window and still pass. Pass a SharedArrayBuffer through workerData, poll Atomics.notify() with a deadline until it reports a waiter, and make the worker re-enter Atomics.wait() after the notification wakes it. Keep the re-parking wait bounded. Do not use an unbounded notify loop or an arbitrary sleep.

712, Make the worker setup in the Worker eval script deterministic by sharing
the SharedArrayBuffer through workerData, polling Atomics.notify() until it
reports an active waiter with a deadline, and having the worker re-enter
Atomics.wait() after being notified. Replace the arbitrary Bun.sleep delay in
the message handler, keep the re-parking wait bounded, and avoid unbounded
notification loops.
