+"""End-to-end happy-path tests for managed agents v2.
+
+This is the canonical CI gate for the v2 MVP. Each test exercises one of
+the three flows in ``.claude/v2_api_contract.md`` §1 against:
+
+  - the real FastAPI router stack (``litellm.managed_agents.router``),
+  - a real local ``opencode serve`` process started by the
+    ``opencode_server`` session fixture, and
+  - a hand-INSERTed ``LiteLLM_ManagedAgentSession`` row that points at
+    that opencode process (mirrors the manual psql INSERT documented in
+    the contract — bypasses Krrish's ``POST /v2/sessions``).
+
+Output content is non-deterministic (real LLM-style replies through
+opencode), so assertions stay loose: we check the protocol works, not
+that any specific text is produced. Where opencode would need real LLM
+credentials to generate an assistant reply, we verify the request
+reaches opencode and the SSE channel is wired up — full content
+assertions are downstream of that.
+
+All tests skip cleanly when ``opencode`` is missing on PATH (see
+``conftest.opencode_server``).
