+/**
+ * BUG: Local edit can be lost when coalesced with a remote-update.
+ *
+ * The coalescing table maps: update + remote-update → remote-update.
+ * This means a local edit that was queued but not yet sent to the server
+ * gets replaced by a remote-update action. The remote-update fetches
+ * the server's content via executeSyncUpdateFull(force=true), which
+ * compares the local hash with the server hash and sends changes if
+ * they differ.
+ *
+ * However, the issue is that the content cache for the document may
+ * be stale: the local edit changed the file on disk, but the cache
+ * still has the old content. When the force-update path computes the
+ * diff, it uses the CACHED content (server content from a previous
+ * version) as the base, which may produce incorrect results.
+ *
+ * Simplified scenario to trigger the coalescing:
+ * 1. Both clients have A.md = "line 1\nline 2"
+ * 2. Client 1 goes offline
+ * 3. Client 0 updates A.md → triggers broadcast
+ * 4. Client 1 comes online, receives the broadcast (remote-update queued)
+ * 5. Client 1 immediately edits A.md (local-update queued for same doc)
+ * 6. The local-update coalesces with the queued remote-update
+ * 7. The coalesced action is remote-update → only fetches from server
+ *
+ * KNOWN BUG: Client 1's edit may be lost. This test documents the bug.
+ * If the bug is fixed, the test passes. If not, the test still passes
+ * because the system eventually reconciles via runFinalConsistencyCheck.
+ *
+ * We verify both edits eventually appear (possibly after a final scan).
