+/**
+ * Shared fixtures for driving `POST /api/insights/chat` through the real
+ * turn pipeline with a scripted provider.
+ *
+ * Unlike the golden harness, the tool loop, the executor, the table tool,
+ * the chart heuristics, the chips, the clarification filter, the method
+ * line, the reply guards and the SSE stream all run for real. Only the
+ * edges are replaced: auth and the front-door gates, the database, the
+ * provider (a script of rounds), the data reads under the table tool, the
+ * snapshot and inventory builders, persistence and the observability sinks.
+ *
+ * A test file registers the module mocks itself (vi.mock is hoisted per
+ * file) and points each factory at the objects exported here; `mockModules`
+ * lists them so the two files that use this harness stay in step.

+ *   - What a chip asks for is read from the stored reply. The request
+ *     names a chip; anything else it says about it is ignored.
+ *   - A chip or a question that is no longer on the latest reply degrades

+/**
+ * Coach dialog scenarios: one question, the record it is asked against,
+ * and what the turn must do with it. Which tool it calls and with which
+ * arguments, whether it answers from a table the conversation already
+ * holds, whether it asks back, whether it declines, which chips it offers.
+ *
+ * Each scenario is graded twice, by the same `evaluateScenario`:
+ *
+ *   - the deterministic suite (`__tests__/scenarios.test.ts`, in `pnpm
+ *     test`) drives the real turn pipeline with a scripted provider, so it
+ *     proves the server half: the chips, the clarification filter, the
+ *     model-free reuse turn, the method line, the fence around earlier
+ *     tables, the dose screen;
+ *   - the live run (`run-case.ts` → `runScenarioLive`, nightly, only with
+ *     `COACH_EVAL_API_KEY`) puts the same question to a real model and
+ *     grades its tool calls, so it measures the model half.
+ *
+ * The shape follows a smoke-question suite: a prompt, the tool expected,
+ * the value the call must carry, whether it may read anything new, and
+ * the context an earlier turn left behind. Every scenario runs in German
+ * and in English.
+ *
+ * Pure: no database, no provider.
