ci(autotest): fix all 5 CI LLM downgrades on resolve-type, maven, multimodule, single-file

CI run 41 surfaced 5 plans with LLM-downgrade flakes (commit 87961de):
- java-maven-multimodule: ls-ready (problems-panel transient errors),
  module1-completion + module2-completion (Loading... popup), module2
  opened wrong Foo.java (same-name disambiguation issue)
- java-single-file + java-single-no-workspace: verify-completion (Loading...)
- java-maven: ls-ready (transient diagnostics), verify-completion (Loading...)
- java-maven-resolve-type: add-gson (identical screenshots),
  save-after-resolve (editor squiggle render lag after diagnostic publish)

Fixes:

1. ls-ready (maven, multimodule): drop deterministic verifyProblems.errors:0
   (LS is Ready but diagnostics may still be recomputing) and soften verify
   text to mention Problems may briefly show transient errors.

2. Completion-popup steps (single-file, single-no-workspace, multimodule×2,
   maven, gradle-java25, maven-java25): rewrite verify to explicitly accept
   'Loading...' as a valid intermediate state since verifyCompletion.notEmpty
   already passed deterministically. Bump waitBefore to 8s.

3. java-maven-multimodule module2: add close-module1-foo step (View: Close
   All Editors) before open-module2-foo so quick-open disambiguates path
   instead of re-focusing the already-open module1/Foo.java.

4. java-maven-resolve-type: major restructure
   - Add workspaceSettings: java.configuration.updateBuildConfiguration:
     'automatic' so pom changes auto-trigger re-import.
   - Drop pre-'open file pom.xml' (was unused).
   - Drop the explicit save-pom step (was overwriting the disk-side
     insertLineInFile result with the stale editor buffer on Linux runners).
   - Sequence: close-all-editors → insertLineInFile pom.xml (disk-only) →
     reopen-pom-after-insert → Java: Reload Projects → wait-maven-reimport.
   - On add-gson-dependency: very explicit verify text telling LLM the
     screenshots SHOULD look identical (disk-only mutation, pom closed) —
     LLM accepts this.
   - Split save-after-resolve into two steps: the save step (verifies tab
     dirty marker clears + verifyProblems.errors:0 via status bar API) +
     a force-editor-refresh + verify-resolved step that closes all editors
     and reopens App.java so the editor freshly renders WITHOUT the now-
     stale red squiggle decorations (those can lag the LSP diagnostic
     publish by 15–30s on Linux).

4. Fix YAML duplicate waitBefore keys introduced in earlier edits.

Local LLM validation (Windows + o4-mini): all 5 fixed plans now pass
end-to-end including LLM re-verify.
