Description
Weekly random DDL+DML testing exposed two stability issues: event service scan windows need to make progress when syncpoints are pending, and the weekly random log scanners can report false panic/fatal failures when random row payload strings contain those words. Expected behavior is stable weekly coverage without stalling syncpoint delivery or failing on payload substrings. The PR adds the weekly random DDL runner/cases and fixes these issues.

Research direction
Start by locating the weekly random DDL runner and cases, then read the event service scan-window logic around pending syncpoints and the weekly random log scanners. Verify that scan windows continue making progress, syncpoint delivery does not stall, and panic/fatal detection ignores matching words inside random row payloads.
