ELIXIR FIXES TIME MATH BUG THAT ROUNDS THE WRONG WAY

NaiveDateTime.diff/3 has been silently rounding elapsed time up instead of down, breaking its documented contract and potentially causing logic errors in any code relying on time-based calculations.

The culprit: NaiveDateTime.diff/3 was truncating each operand separately before subtracting, computing floor(t1) - floor(t2) instead of floor(t1 - t2) [1]. When the subtrahend's fractional seconds exceeded the minuend's, this flipped the rounding direction entirely. An elapsed span of 86399.5 seconds (less than one day) incorrectly returned 1 for :day. This fix restores the documented guarantee that fractional results are truncated, not rounded up. Meanwhile, Duration.from_iso8601/1 was accepting malformed ISO 8601 strings with duplicate S markers for seconds [2], a parsing bug now corrected. On the spec side, Registry.lock/3 gains its missing type signature [3], and List specs are tightened to match their actual input handling [4]. These are the kind of quiet correctness fixes that ship before someone's calendar math breaks in production.

Action items

→ Review any code using NaiveDateTime.diff/3 with :day or larger units for rounding assumptions elixir-lang/elixir [plan]
→ Update Elixir when the next patch drops to get these fixes elixir-lang/elixir [plan]
→ Check if you're parsing ISO 8601 durations; Duration.from_iso8601/1 now rejects duplicate S markers elixir-lang/elixir [monitor]
