Subject: [PATCH] test: enable vmForks for targeted channel test runs

Channel tests were always using process forks, missing the shared
transform cache that vmForks provides. This caused ~138s import
overhead per file. Now uses vmForks when available, matching the
pattern already used by unit-fast and extensions suites.
