Use a fake clock for the fetch deadline.

fetch_bases checks time.monotonic() before each attempt. A real delay of more than 30 seconds can make this test expect two attempts when the deadline correctly permits fewer attempts. Use a fake clock for this time-driven test.

Review comment at @tests/test_ci_warm_distance.py at line 494:
Update the fetch deadline test around fetch_bases to use a controllable fake
clock instead of real time.monotonic, so advancing time and deadline checks are
deterministic without waiting for real delays; preserve the test’s intended
attempt-count assertions.
