Vouch Request - Nikhil Shukl #3761

Why do you want to contribute?

Hi Trigger.dev maintainers, I would like to contribute a focused fix for issue #3726.

I prepared a branch that updates ExponentialBackoff.execute() so maxElapsed also accounts for callback execution time, including attemptTimeoutMs paths. My original PR was auto-closed because I am not vouched yet: #3760.

Branch: https://github.com/nikhil-shukl/trigger.dev/tree/codex/fix-backoff-max-elapsed
Closed PR: #3760
Issue: #3726

I also addressed the automated review finding about AttemptTimeout bypassing the elapsed check and added focused regression coverage.

Prior contributions or relevant experience

Relevant work for this request:

• Prepared a focused Trigger.dev core bug fix for bug(v3): maxElapsed timeout boundary bypassed in ExponentialBackoff.execute #3726.
• Added tests for ExponentialBackoff.execute() maxElapsed behavior.
• Ran: vitest run packages/core/test/backoff.test.ts --config vitest.temp.config.mjs (2 tests passed).
