Headless loop guards against missing stream event fields

A missing timing field in a stream event can no longer crash a headless turn.

What

The headless turn loop now checks that timing fields exist on a stream event before reading them for time-to-request metrics, so a missing field cannot throw mid-turn. Structured-output telemetry and the max-retries error path are otherwise unchanged.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
