+ * E2E test: Parallel workers across multiple milestones.
+ *
+ * Validates the full lifecycle of the worker registry + metrics + budget
+ * alerting across multiple milestone contexts. Uses real filesystem fixtures
+ * and the actual metrics/worker-registry modules (no mocking).
+ *
+ * Covers:
+ *  - Worker registry tracking across parallel batches
+ *  - Metrics ledger accumulation across milestones
+ *  - Budget alert level transitions including the 80% threshold
+ *  - Dashboard data aggregation with parallel worker context
+ *  - Cost projection with budget ceiling awareness
