//! Long-horizon stability test cases for the Brainwires evaluation framework.
//!
//! These tests simulate 15+ step agent executions to verify that:
//! - Loop detection fires correctly after N consecutive identical tool calls.
//! - The original goal text is preserved (re-injected) throughout the run.
//! - Memory retrieval quality stays stable — tested via deterministic replay.
//!
//! All cases are pure unit simulations that run without a live AI provider.
