Pass scale_timeout explicitly through BaseLWTTester and Worker, validating it at construction time instead of relying on implicit pytest fixture injection inside helper classes.
Update wait_for_phase_ops() and wait_for_tablet_count() to use scale_timeout_by_mode() so polling behavior remains consistent across build modes.
Adjust LWT test call sites to pass scale_timeout explicitly.
Increase default timeout values, as the previous defaults were too short and prone to flakiness under slower configurations (notably debug/dev builds).
