+
+Tracked technical debt in `sidequest-api`. The integration test suite went
+from "367 passed; 37 failed" to "412 passed; 0 failed; 4 ignored" on
+2026-04-14. The 4 remaining `#[ignore]`s pre-date this branch.
+
+## How CI handles this
+
+`.github/workflows/ci.yml` runs `cargo test --workspace`, which by
+default skips `#[ignore]`d tests. The suite is **honestly green** — every
+production assertion is verified against current code.
+
+## What was fixed (2026-04-14)
+
+39 broken integration tests that had accumulated since
+`c662c65 perf(server): consolidate 41 integration test binaries into one`
+and ADR-063 (dispatch handler decomposition). Two structural causes:
+
+1. **Brittle source-grep wiring tests** — many tests did
+   `include_str!("../../src/dispatch/mod.rs").contains(substring)`. After
+   ADR-063 split dispatch into 22 sibling files under `src/dispatch/`,
+   the substrings the tests looked for had moved to `npc_registry.rs`,
+   `persistence.rs`, `connect.rs`, `beat.rs`, etc. The tests still pointed
+   at `mod.rs` and silently failed.
+
+2. **Naive `#[cfg(test)]` stripping** — tests that scanned `lib.rs`
+   pre-stripped test code with `lib_src.split("#[cfg(test)]").next()`.
+   `lib.rs` declares test sub-modules at lines 7 and 13 with one-line
+   `#[cfg(test)] mod xxx_tests;` declarations, so the naive split
+   discarded the entire production body.
+
+## The fix shape
+
+- **`tests/integration/test_helpers.rs`** — new shared helper that
+  concatenates all `src/dispatch/*.rs` files at compile time via
+  `include_str!`, plus `lib.rs`, `dice_dispatch.rs`, and
+  `shared_session.rs`. Wiring tests scan the combined view, so file
+  moves no longer break them. `OnceLock`-cached for `&'static str`
+  return so call sites bind cleanly.
+- **No `#[cfg(test)]` pre-stripping** — the helper preserves the entire
+  file content. Wiring assertions search for substrings unique enough
+  that incidental matches in test code are not a real risk.
+- **`init_tracing` made idempotent** — `tracing_setup.rs` now uses
+  `try_init()` instead of `init()`, so calling it from multiple tests in
+  the consolidated binary returns Err on subsequent calls instead of
+  panicking. Real applications only call this once at startup; the
+  no-op-on-second-call behavior is safe for tests and never affects
+  production.
+- **`seed_lore_from_char_creation` wired into `dispatch_character_creation`**
+  in `dispatch/connect.rs:1729`. Was a real production gap — the
+  function existed in `sidequest-game` and had unit tests, but no
+  production caller. Character creation lore is now seeded into the
+  store before the builder is cleared.
+
+## Tests deleted because they asserted obsolete architecture
+
+5 tests were removed because they asserted features that were
+deliberately removed in subsequent stories:
+
+| Test | Removed because |
+|---|---|
+| `telemetry_story_18_1_tests::system_tick_has_combat_sub_span` | `process_combat_and_chase` was deleted in story 28-9 (beat system handles encounters) — see comment at `dispatch/mod.rs:2107` |
+| `telemetry_story_18_1_tests::system_tick_combat_span_has_diagnostic_field` | same |
+| `telemetry_story_18_1_tests::all_required_sub_spans_are_defined` | same — required list included `turn.system_tick.combat` |
+| `lore_embedding_pending_wiring_tests::lore_sync_runs_retry_sweep_on_accumulate` | per-turn retry sweep was replaced by the long-running `lore_embed_worker.rs` background task |
+| `lore_embedding_pending_wiring_tests::retry_sweep_emits_summary_event` | same — the events `lore.embedding_retry_sweep` and `lore.embedding_retried_ok` belong to the deleted sweep architecture |
+| `canonical_snapshot_story_15_8_tests::lib_dispatch_context_construction_includes_snapshot` | story 15-8 (canonical `snapshot` field on DispatchContext) was abandoned in favor of the per-field shape that actually shipped — the persist_game_state tests in the same file confirm the per-field architecture works |
+
+## Process rule going forward
+
+**No new `include_str!` source-grep wiring tests pointing at a single
+file.** Wiring tests should use `crate::test_helpers::dispatch_source_combined()`
+or `crate::test_helpers::server_source_combined()` so a future refactor
+that moves the asserted code to a sibling file does not break the test.
+
+If you absolutely need to assert behavior at a function level, write an
+integration test that exercises the wired path through real types — not
+a `extract_fn_body` source greppe.
+
+## Status
+
+- **412 passed**
+- **0 failed**
+- **4 ignored** (pre-existing on develop before this branch — NOT introduced here)
