> We have tests that include loops when we are uncertain how long the expected condition will be met:
> e.g.
> while (future.isPending()) {
>    Clock::advance(...);
>    ...
> }
> or even simply:
> AWAIT_READY(...) when the Clock is paused.
> This is dangerous because if the expectation is set incorrectly the test can run forever with logs written unboundedly.
