//! Two replicas, one shared database: what crosses between them and what does
//! not.
//!
//! # Why this exists
//!
//! Two replicas behind a load balancer sharing a Postgres store is the first
//! architecture anyone deploying this reaches for, and until now nothing in the
//! repository ran it. That left every statement about it — including the
//! reassuring ones — as inference from reading the code.
//!
//! Each test here is one claim about multi-replica behaviour, and the file is
//! deliberately a mix of the reassuring and the not: a page saying "sharing a
//! store is enough" would be worth nothing without the cases that show where it
//! stops being enough.
//!
//! # What a "replica" is here
//!
//! Two [`RequestHandler`]s, each with its own executor and its own
//! `EventQueueManager`, over one `PostgresTaskStore`. That is exactly the
//! sharing a two-pod deployment has: the database is common, everything held in
//! process memory is not. It is not a second OS process, so this cannot see
//! anything that depends on real process isolation — but every structure that
//! matters here is per-handler, and the handlers are genuinely separate.
//!
//! # Running it
//!
//! `#[ignore]`d and `postgres`-gated, like the store suite it sits beside:
//!
//! ```bash
//! A2A_TEST_POSTGRES_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres \
//!   cargo test -p a2a-protocol-server --features postgres \
//!   --test multi_replica -- --ignored --nocapture
//! ```
