+"""End-to-end async resume-on-CI-complete (design §4 Decision 2, P3 BLOCK-1/BLOCK-2).
+
+These tests prove the "suspended forever" defect is gone: a task that dispatches
+and suspends at VERIFY awaiting CI is, on a later ``tick()``, RESUMED once its run
+reaches a terminal conclusion and TIMEOUT-PARKED once ``dispatched_at + timeout``
+elapses with no terminal result. They drive the REAL machinery — the durable
+``ci_pending_provider`` (:meth:`Coordinator._enumerate_ci_pending`, which walks the
+LangGraph checkpointer), the real CI-watcher sweep, and the real turn-guarded
+resume worker (:meth:`ResumeWorker.resume_ci`) — over a real compiled LangGraph app
+whose VERIFY node suspends with the production awaiting-CI interrupt payload.
+
+No network: the CI poll seam is injected. The graph is a faithful minimal stand-in
+for the production BUILD → DISPATCH → VERIFY shape — DISPATCH writes the trusted
+``run_id`` / ``dispatched_at`` watermarks; VERIFY ``interrupt()``s with
+``{"awaiting_ci": True, "run_id": ...}`` exactly as
+:func:`agent_team.nodes.build_verify_subgraph._await_ci` does — so the durable
+enumeration, the suspend, and the resume are the real ones.
