+/// Track 1c.3 Acceptance Tests: Real Recovery Orchestration
+///
+/// Objective: Prove production recovery flow handles all failure modes
+///
+/// Invariant: A restarted executor cannot enter normal replication until:
+/// 1. Its durable state has been reconciled with the authoritative peer
+/// 2. The resulting state has passed 14C correctness checks
+///
+/// State machine: RECOVERING → READY only after verification
+/// Never: restart → READY directly
