The stranger[0] membership assert was circular (it re-found an element
taken from the same list) and raised IndexError instead of a useful
message when the Timer did nothing. Assert the list is non-empty and
shutdown-only in one line. The trailing time.sleep(0.2) did no work:
every stranger event is recorded before woken.set(), and the owner's
close events happen before pytest.raises exits.
