In the Always-On / wrist-down state, watchOS throttles the system timer
text and collapses sub-minute values to a relative "< 1 min", which
overflows the 50pt counter font and truncates with an ellipsis.
Gate PhaseTimerLayout on isLuminanceReduced: keep the live system timer
while active, but render our own held "~m:ss" snapshot from the wall-clock
anchors in Always-On — so the count stays numeric and on-screen. Timing is
unaffected (haptics/auto-advance still run off the anchor, not the text).
