erlang: erlang:send_after/3 + cancel_timer/1 + monotonic_time (T1+T2, 766/766)
Logical-clock timer wheel in the scheduler. send_after schedules a
message-delivery event at an absolute deadline (clock + Time ms);
cancel_timer marks a live timer cancelled and reports remaining ms,
or false. Time advances only when the runnable queue drains, jumping
to the earliest pending deadline (deterministic, no wall clock).

monotonic_time/0,1 exposes the logical ms clock.

;; erlang:send_after / cancel_timer — timer primitives.
;;
;; A process schedules a message to itself (or another pid / registered
;; name) after N logical milliseconds. `cancel_timer` removes a pending
;; timer and reports the time left. These are the same primitives the
;; gen_server library uses to implement `{noreply, State, Timeout}`.
;;
;; The scheduler runs a synchronous logical clock (see runtime.sx
;; `er-sched-advance-time!`): time advances only when the runnable
;; queue drains, jumping to the earliest pending deadline. That makes
;; delivery deterministic and time-travel-safe — no wall clock.
