chore(RECIPE-0004): complete iteration 1 — fix TypeScript Timer type errors

- Fixed NodeJS.Timer → NodeJS.Timeout in scheduler.ts line 13
- Fixed NodeJS.Timer[] → NodeJS.Timeout[] in fixtures.ts line 151
- Resolves TypeScript compile errors from iteration 0 review
- All 260 tests passing, build succeeds with no errors

+ * Logging Utilities
+ * 
+ * Provides error serialization and structured logging utilities to prevent
+ * [object Object] logs in production. All functions handle circular references

+ * Features:
+ * - Error serialization with stack traces
+ * - Circular reference detection and handling
+ * - Convenient logging wrappers
+ * - TypeScript-safe error handling
