fix(tests): stabilize flaky durable timeout tests

[bnusunny]

Summary

• The ExecutionTimeout and wait_for_callback timeout integration tests have been intermittently failing on unrelated PRs (e.g. run 26182603010).
• Root cause: an upstream emulator/SDK issue causes the invoke event payload to occasionally not propagate to the Lambda handler. When the payload is lost, handlers fall back to short default durations (e.g. wait_seconds=2, timeout_seconds=120) and executions complete SUCCEEDED / stay RUNNING instead of timing out, so the assertions fail.
• Fix: introduce dedicated handlers that hardcode the wait and callback timeout durations, removing the dependency on event-payload propagation. The original event-driven handlers remain for the tests that exercise input handling.

Changes:

• New handler wait/wait_30_seconds.py (hardcoded 30s wait) wired up to the ExecutionTimeout function.
• New handler wait_for_callback/wait_for_callback_short_timeout.py (hardcoded 5s/3s) wired up to a new WaitForCallbackShortTimeout function.
• Tests updated to use --no-event and the new dedicated functions; obsolete timeout_test_event.json deleted.

Test plan

• pytest tests/integration/local/invoke/test_invoke_durable.py::TestInvokeDurable::test_local_invoke_durable_function_timeout
• pytest tests/integration/local/start_lambda/test_start_lambda_durable.py::TestStartLambdaDurable::test_local_start_lambda_invoke_timeout
• pytest tests/integration/local/start_lambda/test_start_lambda_durable.py::TestStartLambdaDurable::test_local_start_lambda_invoke_wait_for_callback_timeout
• Verify the non-timeout durable tests (HelloWorld, NamedStep, NamedWait, MapOperations, Parallel, callback success/failure/heartbeat) still pass and were not affected by template changes.

Coverage concern (finding 1 of 3): SAM CLI event-payload propagation to durable functions is no longer exercised by any test that would fail if the payload were silently dropped.

The two timeout tests being rewritten here were effectively the only durable integ tests whose pass/fail signal depended on event payload values reaching the handler. After this change:

• test_local_invoke_callback_heartbeat (tests/integration/local/invoke/test_invoke_durable.py:181) passes {timeout_seconds: 60, heartbeat_timeout_seconds: 30}, but completes via callback success well before any timeout — it would still pass with the handler defaults (120/60).
• test_local_callback_cli_heartbeat (tests/integration/local/start_lambda/test_start_lambda_durable.py:339) follows the same pattern and has the same property.

The PR description attributes the flake to an upstream emulator/SDK issue. If that's confirmed, this is acceptable — but the description doesn't include emulator/SDK logs proving the propagation gap is purely upstream. If SAM CLI is partly to blame for invoke-event drops to durable handlers, this PR removes the only integ-level detector.

Suggestion: add (or restore) one durable test where the assertion explicitly depends on the event payload being honored — e.g., a wait-for-callback test that sends a short-timeout payload and asserts CallbackTimedOut, or an invoke test that varies wait_seconds between two values and asserts the resulting wait duration. Otherwise a real propagation regression would land silently regardless of where the underlying bug lives.

Finding 2 of 3: this weakens the only durable invoke test that asserted a non-trivial input made it into the execution-history output.

Before: input_data={"wait_seconds": 30} — assert_invoke_output validated the input shown in the execution actually matched what was passed in.

After: input_data={} — there's nothing to validate against, so this branch of assert_invoke_output is effectively a no-op for propagation. Combined with the switch to --no-event, the timeout assertion now passes solely because the hardcoded handler does what it does, regardless of whether the event channel works at all.

If the goal is just stabilization, that's fine, but please consider keeping at least one durable test that asserts the input round-trips correctly through invoke → handler → execution history.

Finding 3 of 3: the -e <event_path> code path for durable invokes is no longer exercised by the timeout test.

It's still covered by test_local_invoke_callback_heartbeat (line 181) which uses event_path=..., so it's not a total loss — flagging mainly because the timeout flow was the test most likely to fail on a regression in event-file handling specific to durable invoke (e.g., payload encoding, file read path differences when DurableExecutionName is also set). Worth a sanity check that the heartbeat test would actually catch such a regression, since it doesn't assert on the event contents being honored either.

Thanks for the careful review — these are fair findings. I traced the propagation path locally to evaluate the suggested coverage:

What I tried: added an EchoInput durable function whose handler returns event["echo_value"] plus an integ test passing a sentinel payload via -e (and via Payload= for start-lambda) and asserting the sentinel round-trips into the printed Result.

What I found: the test reproduces a real propagation drop. SAM CLI prints Input: {"echo_value": "..."} correctly in the execution summary (so SAM CLI → emulator's StartDurableExecution.Input is intact and the emulator stores it on the EXECUTION operation's InputPayload), but the handler receives event={}. Confirmed by replacing the body with raise RuntimeError(f"event={event!r}") — output is event={} type=dict. The drop happens after the emulator (which both stores and surfaces the payload via GetDurableExecution), so the cause is downstream of samcli/local/docker/durable_functions_emulator_container.py:start_durable_execution — most likely in the emulator → RAPID lambda_client.invoke(Payload=...) hop, or in how the durable SDK's handler wrapper reconstructs InitialExecutionState.Operations[0].ExecutionDetails.InputPayload. I did not finish localizing it.

On scope for this PR: since this is upstream of the timeout-flake fix, and a working propagation integ test would currently fail in CI on develop today, I'm leaving #9035 narrow:

• not adding a new propagation test in this PR;
• I'll file a separate aws-sam-cli issue with the reproducer and what I observed so the bug isn't lost.
