fix(scheduler): fix fast cycle convergence and add missing test assertions

- Fix convergeFastCycle to check both dirty AND pending sets for cycle
  members (actions get re-added to pending when they write, not dirty)
- Call handleError when fast cycle iteration limit is reached (was only
  logging before, inconsistent with slow cycle behavior)
- Clean up both dirty and pending after hitting limit to stop the cycle
- Fix "should enforce iteration limit" test to subscribe both actions
  before awaiting idle (required for cycle detection)
- Add assertion to verify error handler is called on cycle limit
- Fix "should detect multiple independent cycles" test to properly
  declare read/write dependencies (was using empty arrays)
- Change meaningless toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(0) to toBe(2) assertion
- Disable memory provider logger
