//! What:
//!  Test-only phase markers of the isolated merge and of a commit headed for the service, for crash and interleaving suites.
//!  An explicit environment variable arms one marker:
//!  `CLI_GIT_TEST_ONLY_PHASE_SIGNAL=<phase>:kill` ends the process with `SIGKILL` at the phase,
//!  `<phase>:kill:<directory>` writes `<directory>/<phase>.reached` first,
//!  and `<phase>:pause:<directory>` writes that marker and waits until `<directory>/<phase>.release` exists.
//!  A repeatable phase numbers its files by occurrence: `<phase>-<n>.reached`.
//! Why:
//!  Crash suites need a deterministic point to kill the wrapper.
//!  The marker is compiled into the release executable, but only the explicit variable arms it,
//!  and a malformed value fails the invocation at every phase it reaches instead of being ignored
//!  (`src/policy-engine/commit-transaction-test-phase.ts`).
//!
//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
//! ```ts
//! await reachTransactionPhase({ phase: 'merge-applied' });
//! ```
