/**
* Job infrastructure tests — deterministic, zero network:
*
* 1. job store CRUD (create → get → update → list → dedup by toolCallId)
* 2. steer helpers (pure, contracts.ts): buildSubagentSteer shape per kind,
* isSubagentFailure, steerDelivered
* 3. dispatch (async protocol §2): drive handleChatRequest with a scripted
* mock teacher that emits a research tool call → the tool part resolves
* IMMEDIATELY with the fire-and-forget ack (the teacher's turn
* CONTINUES — no turn break at the call), a job record exists, and the
* test runner (fake deliver) produces the steer
* 4. runner completion: a fake researcher model (web_search call → final
* text brief, globalThis.fetch stubbed) → the job stores the result,
* the steer carries the brief + sources, the fake deliver flips the
* job done
* 5. runner failure: a model that throws → the failure steer still fires
* (the teacher learns the outcome) and the job lands error
* 6. the wake pipeline (src/server/jobs.ts): server-side steer delivery —
* happy path (fires the injected turn runner, flips the job), pending-
* quiz deferral, 409 retry, idempotent redelivery
*
* Cleanup follows tests/chat-flow.test.ts: created chat/job files removed in
* finally blocks / the after() hook.
