[Remove] unused patch utility exports

[juanmaguitar]

Why

The patch utility modules exposed two internal helpers that no runtime consumer imports. Keeping their implementations private reduces the accidental module API without changing patch selection or provenance behavior.

What changes

Removes prDateMs and SHORT_OID_LENGTH from their respective module.exports objects. Their module-private declarations and every runtime-facing export remain unchanged.

How to test this

Platforms: any — this has no user-visible surface.

Starting state:

1. Check out this branch with dependencies installed.
2. Run the validation commands below.

Expected result:

1. node --test tests/unit/latest-patch.test.cjs tests/unit/patch-provenance.test.cjs passes.
2. npm run lint and npm test pass.

What must not have happened:

No patch ranking, provenance header, filename, or event-validation behavior changes. No files outside the two utility modules are committed.

Risks and limitations

This intentionally removes only exports confirmed to have no repository consumer; consumers retain the same runtime behavior. Fresh self-review: 0 [fix here] · 0 [follow-up].

Design decisions and alternatives considered

Kept declarations module-private rather than deleting them because both helpers remain used internally. Kept exports exercised by current unit tests and runtime call sites public.

Review outcome (required — see AGENTS.md)

0 [fix here] · 0 [follow-up] — no findings across architecture, security, performance, cross-platform, or tests.

Implementation notes

Validation passed: focused utility tests (35 tests), npm run lint, and npm test (1,258 tests).
