The stale_live scenario stores a latch ending 2026-11-04 07:15 CET. The first
Controller was built before the datetime patch, so Controller.__init__ judged
that latch against the real clock and it expired on 2026-11-04. Build it after
the patch (clock = scenario start), as the restart path already did. Test-only.
