The forks pool's implicit maxWorkers=1 (2-CPU runner) was insufficient
to prevent concurrent jsdom worker cold-starts. Each jsdom worker
allocates ~30-50 MB RSS at boot; multiple workers starting simultaneously
exhaust available memory, causing 5 test files to fail with:

  [vitest-pool]: Failed to start forks worker for test files ...
  [vitest-pool-runner]: Timeout waiting for worker to respond

Individual jsdom test files take 12-15 s in isolation and pass cleanly.
Failures only occur when 51 files are run together through the pool.

Fix: explicitly set maxWorkers:1 so a single worker processes all files
sequentially, eliminating concurrent jsdom bootstrap memory pressure.
With this change, all 51 files pass (was 46 pass + 5 fail), and suite
duration improves from ~5070 s to ~1117 s because workers no longer
compete for resources during startup.
