Resi Cues 1.0.1: the next cue's name keeps moving on a 30-second Resi

On a Resi that publishes every ~30s, the board could start a few seconds
before a publish and learn a 2s cadence from that partial first gap. Every
honest 30s gap after that was thrown out as a pause, so playback read as
paused 15s into every update: the countdown froze, and the next cue -- and
the name on the Timers card -- stopped moving on.

- The partial gap right after startup is no longer learned, and one outlier
  gap can no longer lock out the real cadence.
- Until a cadence is measured, a pause is only called after 45s, not 15s.
- The Timers card is titled with the cue's name; its status line now says
  "Next cue" / "Held" instead of repeating the name.
- server.test.js awaited nothing, so an async test raced the next one and
  failed on main; tests now run one at a time.

Same fix as the Resi -> ProPresenter bridge and the Companion module 0.1.2.
