+// TestDependentBatch_IsWokenByTheLandAhead proves that a batch waiting on
+// another is woken when that one lands — an edge the queue was silently
+// dropping.
+//
+// A landed batch fans out to speculate so its dependents can re-plan. That
+// message used to reuse the bare batch ID, which the batch controller had
+// already published to the same topic and partition when the batch was
+// created. The queue deduplicates against rows it has not collected yet,
+// consumed ones included, so the wake-up was reported as a success, stored
+// nothing, and never arrived.
+//
+// Ordinarily something else re-plans the queue soon enough to hide that. This
+// test removes every other source of a wake-up, as stop → observe → start:
+//
+//  1. Stop: close the gate for runway-merge on this queue, before landing, so
+//     the lead batch cannot complete its land.
+//  2. Land the lead. It runs to the land hand-off and parks there.
+//  3. Land the dependent. The queue's analyzer serializes conservatively, so
+//     its batch depends on the lead's, which is in-flight (Landing counts).
+//  4. Fund only the path that assumes the lead succeeds, and hold every real
+//     build for the dependent so complete coverage cannot bypass the lead.
+//  5. Observe: wait for the dependent to record "waiting". From here the only
+//     event that can make its funded path landable is the lead landing.
+//  6. Start: open the gate. The lead lands and fans out.
+//
+// The dependent reaching "landed" is therefore attributable to the fan-out
+// alone. Against the old code it rests at "speculating" and the suite runs to
+// Bazel's timeout, which is how the harness reports a pipeline that stalled.
