NestViewModel.connect() launches an infinite cliff-detector loop in
viewModelScope (`while(true) { delay(...) }`). The existing tests in
NestViewModelTest call connect() but never disconnect/onCleared, so
that loop stays alive. Under runTest's virtual scheduler each delay
returns instantly, the loop spins millions of iterations per second of
real time, and runTest never reaches the idle state — every test
wedges until the per-test deadline (60 s × 17 tests => :commons:jvmTest
hangs for ~17 minutes).
Wrap each test body with runVmTest, which runs the body inside a
try/finally that calls disconnect() on every VM created by
newViewModel before runTest tries to drain. teardown() cancels
cliffDetectorJob, the scheduler becomes idle, and the test returns.
A 10 s runTest timeout is the safety net — healthy tests now finish
in milliseconds, and tripping the timeout signals a new viewModelScope
coroutine that needs its own teardown call.
Verified: :commons:jvmTest --rerun-tasks now completes in 52 s
(409 tests, 0 failures); NestViewModelTest's 17 tests run in 0.083 s
total versus the previous indefinite hang.
