Diego Rodrigues de Sa e Souza 4bcd8cee99 fix(combo): always clear the loop-safety timer, not just on the happy path (#11804) (#12245)
dispatchWithCooldownRetry arms a loop-safety timer (setTimeout, 10 minutes by
default) on every setTry iteration, so a combo that never produces a terminal
response still answers with a 504 instead of hanging. The only clearTimeout in
the whole file sat inside the `if (anySuccess)` branch — the comment said so
verbatim: "clear the safety timer on the happy path".

Every error exit therefore returned the response to the client while leaving a
600s timer pending, its closure retaining orderedTargets and the exhausted
provider/connection sets: all_targets_skipped, all_accounts_inactive, the
aggregated-status return, the final fallback, and the global-timeout branch.
The timer is also re-armed per setTry iteration with no clear in between.

Field evidence from the issue: two requests that failed quality validation
returned 502 to the client immediately, and "Combo loop safety timeout ...
force-terminating" was logged for both exactly 600 seconds later — the leaked
timers firing long after the requests were gone.

Fixed structurally rather than by sprinkling clearTimeout across the five
return sites: the handle is hoisted to function scope and released in a
finally, so a future `return` added to this function cannot silently
reintroduce the leak. The 504 backstop itself is unchanged.

Note the timer already called .unref(), so it never held the event loop open —
this is a memory-retention leak, not a hang.
