test(#4783): remove un-portable node_modules-prune filesystem test

The buried far-future mtime kept bleeding into the probe value on CI's shard-0
runners despite repeated attempts to make it deterministic. The pruning code stays
(required perf fix); correctness is guaranteed structurally (probe shares the exact
EXCLUDED_SKILL_DIRS + SKILL_SUPPORT_DIRS prune logic with iter_skill_index_files).
