+/**
+ * Integration tests for the tab store at `src/lib/tabs.svelte.ts`.
+ *
+ * These tests drive the **real** Svelte 5 `$state`-backed store via
+ * `createTabStore()` and `handleEvent()`. The previous version of this
+ * file used a POJO harness (plain arrays) that duplicated the store
+ * logic from the production file, which meant any drift between the
+ * harness and the real code went undetected.
+ *
+ * What this catches:
+ *  - Logic bugs inside `handleEvent`, `applyChunkEvent`, `routeSystemEvent`.
+ *  - Reactivity contract bugs where the real `$state` proxies behave
+ *    differently than POJO arrays (e.g., reassignment patterns, derived
+ *    state propagation).
+ *  - Any case where the helper-imported-from-core (`appendEventToChunks`,
+ *    `applySystemEvent`) disagrees with how the store wires it.
+ *
+ * What this DOES NOT catch (a known limitation):
+ *  - The specific `structuredClone(svelteProxy)` failure that hit
+ *    production. Browsers' `structuredClone` rejects certain
+ *    Proxy/internal-slot patterns Svelte 5 uses; Bun's `structuredClone`
+ *    (which is what vitest runs against here) is more permissive and
+ *    happily clones these proxies. Empirically: temporarily reverting
+ *    `applyChunkEvent` to `structuredClone(m.chunks)` keeps these tests
+ *    green even though the same change breaks the browser at runtime.
+ *    Catching that class of bug would require a browser-runtime test
+ *    (Playwright or vitest browser mode) — out of scope for this round,
+ *    but worth filing.
+ *
+ * Mocks: `wsClient`, `config`, and the global `fetch` are mocked so the
+ * store doesn't try to open a real WebSocket / read localStorage / hit
+ * an HTTP backend during module init.
