Add a unit test for WorkersMessageQueue.listen()

[seongmin36]

Summary

WorkersMessageQueue cannot implement listen() because the queue() handler is the only way to consume a queue inside a Worker, and Cloudflare invokes it rather than exposing anything the adapter can poll:

A consumer Worker, which is push-based: the Worker is invoked when the queue has messages to deliver.

A pull-based HTTP pull consumer does exist, but it runs "outside of Cloudflare Workers" and cannot coexist with a push-based consumer on the same queue, so it is not available here. The adapter throws a TypeError instead, which is the behavior documented in docs/manual/mq.md.

This adds a WorkersMessageQueue block to that file, covering both the error type and the message that points users to Federation.processQueuedTask().

The mock queue is an empty object cast to Queue, since listen() throws before touching the queue binding. Unlike WorkersKvStore, which has WorkersKvNamespaceLike for this purpose, there is no equivalent interface for Queue.

Closes #881

Test plan

• mise run check-each cfworkers — the check suggested in the issue
• tsc -p test/typecheck/tsconfig.json --noEmit (packages/cfworkers)
• vitest run (packages/cfworkers) — 41 tests passed across 3 files
• Confirmed the test fails when the behavior it pins is broken

Changing TypeError to Error fails only the type assertion, and altering the message fails only the message assertion:

❯ src/mod.test.ts:323
    expect(() => queue.listen(() => {})).toThrow(TypeError);

Tests  1 failed | 14 passed (15)

mise run test-each cfworkers could not be run locally: @fedify/vocab-runtime f's npm resolution does not place typescript in rolldown-plugin-dts's dependency
tree, so the build resolves the wrong tsdown copy. This looks unrelated to thisn the same commit. The package's own test script steps were run directly instead.

AI disclosure

Claude Code (claude-opus-5) assisted with this change: it located the existing tckage, drafted the test, and diagnosed type errors along the way. I reviewed andedited the result, made the final decisions, and ran all verification myself.

Added both sources to the description — though it turned out the wording needed fixing, not just a citation.

Cloudflare has a push-based consumer Worker (the queue() handler) and also a pull-based HTTP pull consumer. So a polling API does exist; it just isn't usable here, since it runs outside Workers and can't coexist with a push-based consumer on the same queue. I rescoped the claim to Workers.

Separate question: the note in docs/manual/mq.md opens with "The Cloudflare Queues API does not provide a way to poll messages from the queue", while its closing sentence scopes the same point to Workers. Fine as-is in context, or worth clarifying?

Please avoid merging the main into your branch and prefer rebasing your commits on the main instead.

Oh, thanks for the heads up! Rebased on main. That merge came from the "Update branch" button, so I'll rebase locally from now on.
