+Controllable fixture harness for the Phase 5 retry integration tests.
+
+Implements the harness contract via :class:`HarnessApp` so the
+runner subprocess can serve it like any production wrap. Behavior
+is steered through env vars + a file-based counter (cross-process
+state because each retry attempt spawns a fresh subprocess):
+
+- ``RETRY_HARNESS_COUNTER_FILE``: path to a file holding a
+  decimal integer. Incremented on every ``run_turn`` invocation.
+  Initial value 0; first call sees 1 after increment.
+- ``RETRY_HARNESS_BEHAVIOR``: ``"die_first_succeed_after"`` or
+  ``"always_succeed"``. The first variant kills its own subprocess
+  with ``SIGKILL`` on the first call (counter == 1) and emits
+  a normal response thereafter; this exercises the L2-retry path
+  in the AP-side workflow. The second variant always emits a
+  normal response — used by the "no L2 retry on healthy harness"
+  pin.
+
+The "normal response" is two events: an ``OutputTextDeltaEvent``
+carrying the text (so the streaming-pipeline branch fires for
+:class:`TextChunk`) and the scaffold-emitted terminal
+``response.completed``. Tests assert on the captured
+``response.output_text.delta`` SSE events — that's the exact
+end-to-end pipeline the user sees in the REPL.

+- Per-policy ask_timeout override via

+- Labels apply on accept, NOT on decline / cancel / timeout /
+  malformed (load-bearing §7.2 invariant).
+- Emitted SSE event shape matches MCP elicitation spec
+  (``response.elicitation_request`` with ``method =

+- Content preview truncated to 1024 chars.

+Combined integration tests — all three policy types together.
+
+Builds a PolicyEngine from the ``combined-policies`` fixture
+and exercises scenarios that would only surface when multiple
+policy subclasses interact. This is the most comprehensive
+e2e proxy available until the workflow.py integration lands.
+
+Assertions cover:
+
+- FunctionPolicy composition on the same
+  tool name (taint + rate-limit on web_search).
+- FunctionPolicy observer policy (``observe_writes``) always ALLOWs.
+- Multi-label DENY gate (`deny_exfil`): fires only when BOTH
+  integrity and sensitivity labels are tainted.
+- End-to-end IFC sequence: clean → web search taints
+  integrity → confidential read elevates sensitivity →
+  write_file fires `deny_exfil`.
+- Rate-limit ASK + condition-gate DENY compose correctly.
+- Monotonic label cache semantics (via the store layer).
+
+These tests exercise the real parse → build → evaluate →
+persist pipeline for every declared policy type.

+Tests for the Phase 2 :class:`PolicyEngine` skeleton.

+At this phase the engine has no concrete policy subclasses, so
+``evaluate`` always returns ALLOW. The tests lock in the
+properties the engine MUST already have now because later
+phases rely on them:
+
+- ALLOW is the default composed decision with zero policies.
+- ``apply_label_writes`` persists via the store and updates
+  the hot cache.
+- ``spec_for`` resolves by policy name (used in Phase 8 ASK
+  routing).
+- Empty ``set_labels`` is a no-op (no transaction).
+- Hot cache is a defensive copy — callers that mutate what
+  they read don't corrupt engine state.
+
+Concrete policy-dispatch tests land in the FunctionPolicy

+are hand-maintained ports; any bug in the omnigent → omnigent
+adapter layer (e.g. ``condition: {}`` parse rejection,
+``match_tools`` → ``on:`` expansion) slips past those tests. This module goes through
+:func:`omnigent.spec.load` — the same path ``omnigent run``
+uses — so the adapter is exercised on every run.
+
+Scenarios mirror the user-documented trigger matrix:
+
+#. ``agent_with_policies.yaml`` — sleep ≤ 5s → ALLOW.
+#. ``agent_with_policies.yaml`` — sleep > 5s → DENY.
+   **Documented pre-existing gap**: the example uses a legacy
+   2-arg ``(content, phase)`` callable signature. Agent-plane's
+   :class:`FunctionPolicy` calls 2-arg callables as
+   ``(ctx, context)``, which doesn't match. The callable's
+   ``isinstance(content, dict)`` guard falls through and the
+   policy returns ALLOW. Marked xfail so the regression is
+   visible if/when the signature adapter is added.
+#. ``rate_limited_search_agent.yaml`` — first web_search → ALLOW.
+#. ``rate_limited_search_agent.yaml`` — 4th web_search → ASK.
+   Same legacy-signature gap as #2 (xfail).
+#. ``secure_research_agent.yaml`` — clean run_shell → ALLOW.
+#. ``secure_research_agent.yaml`` — read → run_shell → ASK
+   (ask_high_confidentiality).
+#. ``secure_research_agent.yaml`` — web_search + read →
+   run_shell → DENY (deny_contaminated_shell).
+#. ``secure_research_agent_os_env.yaml`` — same flow as #7,
+   verifies the os_env variant's policy block still fires.
+
+Prompt-policy scenarios (``block_canada_input``,
+``block_canada_output``) require the real-LLM classifier and

+- :func:`omnigent_client._sse._parse_event` —

+- :func:`omnigent_client._sse._parse_output_item` — regular

+- :func:`omnigent_client._responses._handle_elicitation_request`
+  — calls the registered hook, POSTs the verdict to the
+  elicitation's dedicated resolve URL, and fail-closes when no hook
+  is registered.
+- REPL ``_make_elicitation_prompt`` — renders the elicitation
+  and returns ``True`` / ``False`` based on the user's y/n
+  answer.
+
+Real HTTP is stubbed via a minimal ``_FakeHttpClient`` — these

+Unit tests for :mod:`omnigent.runtime.inflight_text`.
+
+The in-flight-text index recovers the assistant text streamed in the
+current turn so a client (re)connecting mid-turn can replay it.
+These tests pin its state-machine invariants directly — the layer where
+they actually live — rather than through a full workflow:
+
+* :func:`record_publish` accumulates ``response.output_text.delta`` text
+  and captures the turn's ``ResponseObject``; :func:`snapshot_for`
+  replays a ``response.created`` + ``response.output_text.delta`` pair.
+* A new ``response`` id resets accumulation so a later turn never
+  prepends a prior turn's text.
+* Any terminal turn event clears the entry.
+* Replay only fires once real text has streamed (so a lifecycle-only
+  turn — e.g. claude-native, which streams no ``output_text`` — stays
+  inert and never double-renders the cold-load snapshot).
+* Reasoning deltas are intentionally NOT tracked.
+
+The wire-up between :func:`omnigent.runtime.session_stream.publish`
+and this index, plus the snapshot/live-tail partition guarantee, is
+tested in :file:`tests/runtime/test_session_stream.py`.

+Unit tests for :mod:`omnigent.runtime.pending_elicitations`.

+The pending-elicitations index is a per-conversation set of
+outstanding elicitation ids that powers the sidebar's "needs

+
+* :func:`record_publish` only acts on
+  ``response.elicitation_request`` events and silently ignores
+  every other type — it sits on the hot SSE publish path.
+* :func:`resolve` removes ids, is idempotent, and cleans up
+  empty conversation sets so :func:`count_for` returns ``0``
+  cleanly.
+* :func:`counts_for` is a one-pass batch lookup that includes
+  every requested id (0 for untracked).
+
+The wire-up between :func:`omnigent.runtime.session_stream.publish`
+and the index lives in

+Unit tests for :mod:`omnigent.runtime.pending_inputs`.
+
+The pending-inputs index holds web-composer user messages on
+native-terminal sessions that haven't yet round-tripped back through
+the transcript forwarder. It backs the optimistic "queued message"
+bubble across a client re-bind by replaying un-consumed messages into
+the session snapshot. Tests here pin its core invariants directly:
+
+* :func:`record` assigns a unique id and :func:`snapshot_for` replays
+  entries in FIFO (insertion) order with their content verbatim.
+* :func:`resolve_oldest` drains the oldest entry (FIFO) and returns its
+  id, regardless of the persisted message's text — the transcript
+  reformats text (reply quotes, attachment markers), so order is the
+  only reliable correlation signal. Returns ``None`` when empty.
+* :func:`resolve` removes an entry by id (the forward-failed rollback
+  path) and is idempotent.
+* Stale entries are evicted after :data:`pending_inputs._TTL_S` — the
+  ghost-cleanup backstop for a message the TUI never accepted.
+
+The wire-up between the route layer and the index (record on POST,
+drain at persist, replay in the snapshot) is covered by the server
+route tests; this file tests the module in isolation.

+    Reproduces the real ``/stream`` subscribe shape and the double-render

+    ack heartbeat, yielded first — which SUSPENDS the generator) and
+    ``pre_ready_snapshot`` (the in-flight text replay). The relay

+"""Regression: web_fetch's ``__web_researcher`` must resolve on a bundle re-parse.
+
+``WebFetchTool`` synthesizes the ``__web_researcher`` sub-agent spec in memory
+and appends it to the parent's live ``sub_agents`` list, but that spec is never
+serialized into the parent's persisted bundle. A child ``__web_researcher``
+session boots by re-parsing the bundle fresh (``runner/_entry.py`` spec
+resolver), so the researcher is absent from the re-parsed tree.
+
+Before the fix, :func:`_find_spec_by_name` returned ``None`` for that
+resolve-miss, and every swap site (``runner/app.py`` POST /v1/sessions,
+``_run_turn_bg``, ``_resolve_session_spec_entry``,
+``_resolve_harness_and_spawn_env``; ``server/routes/sessions.py``) swaps only
+``if ... is not None``, so the child silently booted as a full clone of the
+parent. When the parent is a coordinator, every ``__web_researcher`` became a
+coordinator clone that re-ran the whole panel: runaway recursion / fan-out via
+``sys_session_send`` (the failure mode ``runner/app.py`` calls out by name).
+
+The fix reconstructs the lean researcher from the parent on a resolve-miss, so
+the child boots as the intended ``max_iterations=5`` curl helper instead.
