+// TestInteractiveMidTurnCommit: agent creates a file and commits it within a
+// single interactive turn. This exercises the TUI event path for turn-end
+// detection — unlike RunPrompt (which uses non-interactive mode where process
+// exit forces cleanup), the interactive session stays alive and must receive
+// the idle event to trigger turn-end and transcript export.
+//
+// This is a regression test for OpenCode where session.status idle events
+// were not reaching the plugin in TUI mode, causing turn-end to never fire,
+// transcript export to never run, and condensation to fail with
+// "transcript not found".
