TL;DR

The documented render time budget was only checked inside the per-template render loop, so calling the renderer with an empty template list never consulted the limiter. Tags such as for and tablerow with empty bodies hit that path once per iteration and could run unbounded work while renderLimit appeared configured. The limiter is now checked at the start of renderTemplates before any template runs. A regression test covers empty for bodies under a strict limit.
