+ * (16 vulns last count — 2 critical, 3 high). When that happens, the
+ * Integrations page surfaces `@composio/core SDK is not installed` and
+ * we don't notice until a user complains.
+ *
+ * This script runs at the END of `postinstall` and shouts loudly if any
+ * required-but-fragile dep is missing, so the next install (audit-fix,
+ * fresh clone, CI build) catches the loss immediately. It does NOT
+ * auto-install — that would mask the underlying audit-fix decision and
+ * make the recurrence invisible.
+ *
+ * Exit code is 0 even when a dep is missing — we don't want CI to fail
+ * on a soft dep — but the loud banner is meant to be impossible to miss
+ * in install logs.

+/**
+ * Tests for the empty-response stall path in _trackEmptyResponse +
+ * _handleEmptyResponseStall.
+ *
+ * Two contracts here:
+ *
+ *   1. EARLY ESCALATION FOR CHAT MODE WITH NO QUEUED MESSAGES.
+ *      The classic AND-condition (count >= 5 AND elapsed >= 60s) was
+ *      designed for autonomous agents that re-cycle. In chat mode without
+ *      further messages there IS no next cycle — count gets stuck at 1
+ *      and the agent silently hangs forever. Fix: a single empty response
+ *      in that state must escalate immediately.
+ *
+ *   2. THE STALL HANDLER PUSHES A VISIBLE ERROR TURN.
+ *      Pre-fix, _handleEmptyResponseStall flipped mode to CHAT and
+ *      broadcast a notification, but wrote NOTHING to the conversation
+ *      log. REST polling consumers (dashboard, shooting-range,
+ *      headless probes) saw an agent that just stopped. Fix: route
+ *      through _recordAgentFailure so the same { role:'assistant',
+ *      isError:true, classification, error } shape lands in
+ *      conversations.full.messages — same diagnostic-gap surface as
+ *      the classified-failure branches.
