// tests/test_layered_cycle.el
// Integration tests for soul.el layered_cycle().
//
// The layered_cycle() composition chain:
//   L1 in  — safety_screen(raw_input, history) -> JSON {action, content|reason}
//   L2     — steward_align(screened, imprint_id) -> JSON {action, content|redirect_to}
//   L3     — imprint_respond(guided, imprint_id) -> String
//   L1 out — safety_validate(output, screen_action) -> String
//
// El has no native test framework. Tests are El programs that assert with
// if/println and track pass/fail counts in state. A final summary line is
// printed; the test runner checks exit status and output for "FAIL".
//
// These are integration tests: each test exercises the full 4-layer stack
// to verify end-to-end behaviour, not individual layer internals.
//
// To run (once the dependency branches are merged and elc is available):
//   elc soul.el && ./soul --test tests/test_layered_cycle.el
//
// NOTE: The soul.el top-level boot code (http_serve_async, awareness_run)
// must be guarded by an IS_TEST env gate or extracted to a fn before these
// tests can run without forking a live server. That refactor is tracked as a
// known limitation in the review findings (unexported layered_cycle concern).
