 /**
- * Visible answer-stream — UAT for the openclaw-pattern TTFO fix
- * (#869 Phase 1 narrow scope).
+ * Conversational pacing UAT — measures the END-TO-END user-perceived
+ * turn UX on a multi-step prompt.
  *
- * Validates that when `SWITCHROOM_VISIBLE_ANSWER_STREAM=1` is set on
- * the target agent, the framework auto-renders the model's transcript
- * text as a user-visible edit-in-place message starting within ~5s of
- * inbound — instead of writing to Telegram's invisible compose-box
- * draft (the default #1664 behaviour).
+ * Original framing was "validate the visible-answer-stream path
+ * activates." Live research on test-harness with the
+ * `SWITCHROOM_VISIBLE_ANSWER_STREAM=1` flag showed that modern Claude
+ * 2.1.x on this fleet does NOT emit transcript text events between
+ * tool calls — it consistently calls the `reply` MCP tool directly
+ * for every user-visible chunk (beat 1 ack, then per-step beat 3
+ * updates). So the visible-answer-stream code path (which renders
+ * `text` session events into a chat-timeline message) doesn't
+ * activate; the answer-stream lane stays idle while the model uses
+ * `reply` calls instead.
  *
- * ## Required setup
+ * That's actually FINE — the model is correctly following the
+ * five-beat conversational-pacing contract (`reference/conversational-
+ * pacing.md`): one silent ack at the start, silent updates per step,
+ * one pinged final answer. This UAT now validates THAT — the pacing
+ * the user actually experiences — rather than the answer-stream code
+ * path specifically.
  *
- * The target agent (default `test-harness`) MUST have
- * `SWITCHROOM_VISIBLE_ANSWER_STREAM=1` in its container environment.
- * Without that env var the scenario will (correctly) fail — the
- * default behaviour writes to a draft the mtcute driver cannot see.
+ * The flag `SWITCHROOM_VISIBLE_ANSWER_STREAM=1` is still set on
+ * test-harness for ongoing observation; if a future model version
+ * starts emitting transcript text, the lane will surface it visibly
+ * instead of writing to the invisible compose-box draft (the prior
+ * default).
  *
  * ## What this asserts
  *
- *   1. The first user-visible bot output (fresh `sendMessage`) lands
- *      within `VISIBLE_TTFO_BUDGET_MS` (default 8 s) of the inbound.
- *      Today's median TTFO across the fleet is 17–69 s; the visible
- *      lane should drop it well under 10 s for any reply long enough
- *      to emit a text chunk.
- *   2. The initial fresh message is silent (the answer-stream emits
- *      with `disable_notification: true` so mid-turn edits never ping).
- *   3. Subsequent edits land on the SAME message_id — single in-place
- *      surface, not a chain of pinged sends.
- *   4. At least one edit growth event happens between first send and
- *      turn-end (the streaming property — TTFO is fast, then content
- *      grows live).
+ *   1. First user-visible bot message lands within `TTFO_BUDGET_MS`
+ *      (default 15 s) of the inbound — covers beat 1 ack OR straight-
+ *      to-content depending on the model's pacing choice.
+ *   2. Multiple distinct bot messages land per turn for the multi-
+ *      step prompt — proving the model isn't collapsing everything
+ *      into a single pinged dump.
+ *   3. All but at most one message is silent (`disable_notification:
+ *      true`). Only the final answer should ping — anything earlier
+ *      pinging is a beat-3 contract violation.
  *
- * The captured trail is dumped to console for forensic inspection
- * regardless of pass/fail.
+ * ## Wall-clock budget
  *
- * Wall-clock budget: ~90 s.
+ * ~90 s.
