//! Consolidated end-to-end coverage of the cold-path
//! [`Op::WriteKernelCold`] / [`Op::ReadKernelCold`] dispatch path
//! under scx-ktstr. Exercises the three resolution arms the v1
//! dispatcher implements:
//!
//! - [`KernelTarget::TaskField`] — per-task `task_struct` field
//! writes under the dispatcher's 8-layer SCX validation chain
//! (pid match, `start_time` identity, lifetime, `on_rq == 0`,
//! scx queued-empty, `ext_sched_class`, `policy == SCHED_EXT`,
//! `start_boottime != 0`). Seeds an SCX-managed worker's
//! `scx.dsq_vtime` to ~30 days and asserts the read-back value
//! either equals the seed or has advanced forward (no regression).
//! - [`KernelTarget::PerCpuField`] — per-CPU struct field read via
//! the hardcoded v1 symbol→struct mapping (`runqueues→rq.nr_running`).
//! - [`KernelTarget::symbol`] — direct symbol read of `jiffies_64`,
//! the kernel's 64-bit jiffies counter.
//!
//! Every Op fires through the freeze-rendezvous-and-thaw cold path,
//! so the test doubles as a smoke test for the freeze coord's
//! deferred-queue + accessor-adoption handshake under a live
//! scheduler — cold-ops dispatched before the host's `owned_accessor`
//! adoption defer cleanly instead of failing with the synthetic
//! "owned_accessor not yet initialised" error reply.
//!
//! Architecture: the scenario body runs INSIDE the guest VM and is
//! the only place that can read worker pids + `/proc/<pid>/stat`.
//! The host freeze-coord records every cold-op reply into the host
//! snapshot bridge (record_kernel_op_reply hook); the `post_vm`
//! callback drains that bridge HOST-side to assert on the captured
//! `read_values`.
