Scope iconWidthDiff to built-in ambiguous icons

When opts.columns >= 80, a custom combining icon such as e\u0301 has stringWidth(typeStripped) === 1 but typeStripped.length === 2. This sets iconWidthDiff to -1 and shifts right-aligned content left by one column.

Apply the correction only to built-in icons that over-report their width, or use a terminal-width-aware baseline.

In `@src/reporters/fancy.ts` around lines 123 - 133, Update the icon-width
adjustment near iconWidthDiff so custom icons do not produce negative
corrections from stringWidth(typeStripped) minus typeStripped.length; apply the
correction only to the supported built-in ambiguous icons, or derive it from a
terminal-width-aware baseline, while preserving correct alignment for built-in
icons.

Make the timestamp assertion non-vacuous and locale-independent.

toLocaleTimeString() can produce values such as 00:00:00 or 4:00:00 PM. Derive expectedDate with reporter.formatDate(...), assert every position is non-negative, then compare positions.

the positions for right alignment.
