+ * Live e2e flow runner — HTTP edition.
+ *
+ * Hits the user's actually-running Loxia server (default localhost:8080)
+ * via its real REST API, exercising the SAME wiring the editor uses.
+ * No standalone orchestrator boot, no minimal-graph wiring drift.
+ *
+ * Run:    npm run test:e2e:live           (server must be running)
+ * Or:     E2E_BASE_URL=http://host:port npm run test:e2e:live
+ *
+ * Required:
+ *   - The Loxia server running at E2E_BASE_URL (default localhost:8080)
+ *   - api-key.txt at repo root (used for the JUDGE call to Loxia backend)
+ *   - At least one loaded agent on the server (the runner will pick from
+ *     /api/agents/available and reuse them; doesn't need clean agents)
+ *
+ * Output: PASS/FAIL per scenario with the judge's structured verdict.
+ * Exit 0 if all pass, 1 if any fail, 2 on infra errors.
