test(offline): make concurrency test deterministic and bounded

Replace the `sleep(0.15)` ordering hack with an explicit `threading.Event`
the fast thread sets in `finally`. The slow thread waits on that event
(bounded), then observes the flag — so we deterministically verify the
slow thread still sees offline mode after the fast thread has exited.

Also add timeouts to `barrier.wait()` and assert `not thread.is_alive()`
after the joins so the test can't hang on an unexpected failure path.
