+//! `MockLlmClient` — a queue-driven `LlmClient` implementation for tests.
+//!
+//! This client implements the [`LlmClient`](super::LlmClient) trait by replaying a
+//! pre-loaded queue of canned responses (one per turn). It captures every
+//! request the runtime sends so tests can assert on the outgoing payload —
+//! e.g. confirming that prior `reasoning_content` is replayed in DeepSeek V4
+//! thinking-mode tool-calling turns (V4 §5.1.1; the bug that broke
+//! v0.4.9-v0.5.1).
+//!
+//! # Mocking strategy
+//!
+//! Tests mock at the **trait boundary** (`LlmClient`), never at the `reqwest`
+//! HTTP layer. The trait is the durable abstraction — internal HTTP plumbing
+//! changes frequently and is not part of the public engine contract.
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! use crate::llm_client::mock::{MockLlmClient, canned};
+//! use crate::llm_client::LlmClient;
+//!
+//! // One canned turn that emits "hello world" as two text deltas, then
+//! // finishes with stop_reason = "end_turn".
+//! let turn = vec![
+//!     canned::message_start("msg_1"),
+//!     canned::text_delta(0, "hello "),
+//!     canned::text_delta(0, "world"),
+//!     canned::message_stop(),
+//! ];
+//!
+//! let mock = MockLlmClient::new(vec![turn]);
+//! let stream = mock.create_message_stream(/* ... */).await.unwrap();
+//! // ... drain the stream, assert deltas ...
+//! assert_eq!(mock.call_count(), 1);
+//! assert_eq!(mock.captured_requests().len(), 1);
+//! ```
+
+// This module ships methods + builder helpers that integration tests rely on
+// individually. Not every helper is exercised by unit tests — that's expected
+// (the goal is a usable mock surface for downstream tests), so we silence
+// per-item dead-code warnings at the module level.

+
+Integration tests for the TUI binary. Per `CONTRIBUTING.md`, each crate's
+integration tests live in its own `tests/` directory; the repository-root
+`tests/` directory is unused.
+
+## Mock LLM client (`integration_mock_llm.rs`)
+
+`crates/tui/src/llm_client/mock.rs` provides a `MockLlmClient` that implements
+the `LlmClient` trait by replaying queue-driven canned responses and capturing
+every outgoing `MessageRequest`. Tests mock at the **trait boundary** — never
+at the `reqwest` HTTP layer — because the trait is the durable abstraction the
+runtime is meant to depend on.
+
+Coverage today exercises the trait surface end-to-end:
+
+- streaming turn loop
+- reasoning-content replay across tool-call rounds (V4 §5.1.1, the bug that
+  broke v0.4.9-v0.5.1)
+- tool-call round-trip with chunked input JSON
+- multi-tool-call ordering inside a single turn
+- compaction-style non-streaming `create_message`
+- sub-agent style independent parent/child mocks
+- capacity-gate observation of a captured request before stream drain
+
+Four full-engine tests (`engine_full_*`) are `#[ignore]`-marked. They unblock
+when `core::engine::Engine` is refactored to take `Arc<dyn LlmClient>` instead
+of a concrete `Option<DeepSeekClient>`. See the comment block at the bottom of
+`integration_mock_llm.rs` for the exact refactor surface.
+
+## `--record` mode for `deepseek eval`
+
+The offline `deepseek eval` harness now accepts `--record <DIR>`. When set,
+each tool step appends one JSON Lines record to `<DIR>/<scenario>.jsonl`
+(default scenario: `offline-tool-loop.jsonl`). Each line is a self-contained
+JSON object with the schema:
+
+```json
+{ "request":  { "step": "list_dir", "kind": "List" },
+  "response_events": [ { "type": "ok", "output": "…" } ] }
+```
+
+The mock LLM client (`crate::llm_client::mock`) replays these fixtures by
+mapping each `response_events` array onto a canned `Vec<StreamEvent>`. Drop
+generated fixtures into `crates/tui/tests/fixtures/` so they ride the repo and
+feed the mock in CI.
+
+Quick example:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --bin deepseek -- eval --record crates/tui/tests/fixtures
+cat crates/tui/tests/fixtures/offline-tool-loop.jsonl | jq .
+```
+
+The scenario name is sanitized to `[A-Za-z0-9_-]` before forming the filename,
+so unusual scenario strings stay portable across platforms.

+//! Integration tests for the [`MockLlmClient`](mock::MockLlmClient).
+//!
+//! These tests exercise the [`LlmClient`](llm_client::LlmClient) trait surface
+//! directly. They verify that the mock client itself behaves correctly under
+//! the patterns the runtime relies on:
+//!
+//! - **Streaming turn loop** — events arrive in order, `MessageStop` terminates
+//!   the stream.
+//! - **Reasoning replay** (issue #69 / V4 §5.1.1) — when the runtime sends a
+//!   second turn after a tool round, it MUST replay prior `reasoning_content`.
+//!   Catches the HTTP 400 path that broke v0.4.9-v0.5.1.
+//! - **Tool-call round-trip** — assistant emits `tool_calls`, runtime executes,
+//!   tool result is appended, next turn streams text.
+//! - **Multiple tool calls in one round** — assistant returns N tool_calls;
+//!   the request payload preserves their ordering.
+//! - **Compaction-style non-streaming call** — `create_message` returns a
+//!   queued `MessageResponse` without going through the streaming path.
+//! - **Sub-agent style turn** — child mailbox receives a parent prompt and
+//!   replies; trait boundary is the same.
+//! - **Capacity-gate observation** — runtime can probe estimated request size
+//!   and decline to dispatch; the mock surfaces capture-side hooks for that.
+//!
+//! # Why trait-level (not engine-level)
+//!
+//! As of v0.6.7 the engine (`crates/tui/src/core/engine.rs`) holds a concrete
+//! `Option<DeepSeekClient>` — the [`LlmClient`] trait is implemented but no
+//! consumer takes `Arc<dyn LlmClient>` or generic `<C: LlmClient>`. Wiring the
+//! mock into a full engine turn-loop therefore requires a separate refactor:
+//! every `Option<DeepSeekClient>` consumer (engine, registry, rlm, review,
+//! cycle_manager, compaction, subagent) must move to `Arc<dyn LlmClient>`.
+//!
+//! Per the v0.7.0 mock-LLM issue (the parent of this file): "If the engine's
+//! API surfaces are too tangled to mock cleanly … document that as BLOCKED with
+//! what wiring needs to change. In that case still commit any partial work
+//! that lands cleanly." The full engine integration tests below are
+//! `#[ignore]`-marked with TODOs pointing at that refactor.
+//!
+//! Once `Arc<dyn LlmClient>` lands the ignored tests can flip on with no
+//! changes to the mock.
