fix(timer): keep day offset on count-to-end scheduled end

getExpectedEnd compared the offset-laden expectedStart against a raw `timeStart + duration + delay` planned end. That planned end omits the `(dayOffset - currentDay) * dayInMs` day shift that expectedStart already carries, so for a count-to-end event on a later day the Math.max guard returned the day-shifted start instead of the day-shifted end (wrong by one duration). Compute the scheduled end in the same day-normalised space before the guard. The guard itself (finish on schedule unless the start is compromised) is unchanged. Add unit tests for the multi-day case, the compromised-start guard, and relative mode.
