+**Read `SCENARIO_ENGINE_NOTES.md` before changing any of these.** Five
+scenarios describe behaviour the engine does not implement (out-of-order
+checkpoints, second-duty gating, hazardous/reefer clamping) or invert what it
+does (mid-corridor intercity). Those are written as a passing test of CURRENT
+behaviour plus an adjacent `it.skip` naming the desired behaviour — un-skipping
+one is the definition of done for the corresponding fix, not a test repair.
+
+Three specs are also flag- or policy-dependent and say so in their headers:
+`g3_export` needs `FREIGHT_EXPORT_SPLIT` off, and `g4_multi_schedule` asserts
+the whole-placement policy (S20) rather than the fill-first one (S21).
+
+### Group 1 conventions (`flows/g1_*.cy.ts`)
+
+The visual counterpart to the corridor suite — helpers in `flows/g1-utils.ts`,
+arrange-data in `fixtures/seed-g1-train.sql` (run it AFTER
+`seed-import-corridor.sql`).
+
+Two things make these different from the older flow specs:
+
+- **A 53-wagon BUILT train** (`TRN-G1-1`), not a loco pair. A loco-pair
+  schedule cannot hold 53: `syncScheduleMaxWagons` recomputes `max_wagons`
+  from locomotive length (`floor(760 / 13.966) = 54` on this corridor). A
+  built train's physical consist wins outright — see
+  `booking-batch.service.ts:4152`. The consist staff marshal IS the capacity.
+- **The configuration phase and every capacity verdict run through the UI**:
+  the consist is seen in the Train Builder, the schedule is created through
+  the real "New schedule" form, the batch is run from the
+  `Doc review complete — run batch` button, and FULL/NOT FULL is read off the
+  batch board's Priority Tracking tab — which renders the literal
+  `Capacity line · 53/53 wagons · FULL` divider plus `In the batch` /
+  `Waiting list` / `Expired` lanes.
+
+Bulk cargo still goes through the API (`bookContainers`): a 30-wagon booking
+is 30-60 ISO-number inputs, which tests the form rather than the engine. Each
+scenario books its ONE small booking visually via
+`bookContainersVisually()`. **Payment is always API-driven** — the portal has
+no mock payment path; "Pay now" redirects off-origin to a real gateway, which
+Cypress cannot follow.

+# Scenario ↔ engine reconciliation (S1–S40)
+
+Verified against the API source while writing the Group 1 specs. Every claim
+below carries a `file:line`; re-check them before trusting this file, it is a
+snapshot of the code as of the freight_feature/usermanagement branch.
+
+The point of this file: several scenarios in the original 40-case document
+describe behaviour the engine does **not** implement. Those are not spec bugs
+to code around — they are either product gaps worth a ticket, or scenarios
+whose premise needs restating. Writing a green test against a premise the code
+contradicts is worse than having no test.
+
+## Capacity: 53 vs 54
+
+The scenarios are written for a **53-wagon** train. A loco-pair schedule cannot
+hold 53 on this corridor: `syncScheduleMaxWagons` recomputes `max_wagons` as
+`floor(locoLength / shortest active wagon length)`, and `seed-import-corridor.sql`
+deliberately pins that at `floor(760 / 13.966) = 54`.
+
+A **built train** is exempt — `booking-batch.service.ts:4152`:
+
+    const maxWagons = physicalWagons ?? capacityLimits(loco).base.wagons;
+
+So Group 1 runs on `TRN-G1-1`, a 53-wagon built consist (`seed-g1-train.sql`).
+Note `train-capacity.util.ts:107` calls 53 "the marshalling figure" and says the
+slot count is "never a fixed 53" — the number is real, it just has to come from
+a consist rather than from locomotive length.
+
+## Confirmed — scenario matches the engine
+
+| Scenario | Engine fact | Where |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| S1/S5 cascading promotion | `fillFromWaitingList` loops up to 10 rounds until a pass reserves nothing | `booking-batch.service.ts:2788` |
+| S4/S6 split offers | `booking_batch_offers`, `status` defaults `OFFERED`, `offered_wagons` | `booking-batch-offer.entity.ts:27,46,73` |
+| S9 heavy VGM | NW5 tare **22.4T** → 2×28 + 22.4 = 78.4T gross, exactly as the scenario computes | `train-capacity.util.ts:16,82` |
+| S11 split ignores tolerance | tolerance "spendable only by admitting a booking whole, never by a split" | `train-capacity.util.ts:58`, `booking-batch.service.ts:4109` |
+| S13 holds occupy space | reserved = `SELECTED_FOR_BATCH`/`AWAITING_PAYMENT`, subtracted from capacity until the deadline lapses | `bookings.repository.ts:1372`, `booking-batch.service.ts:4487` |
+| S18 oversized export rejected | 409 at `requestOperation` with a sized message | `booking-transition.service.ts:1016`, `booking-batch.service.ts:900` |
+| S25 per-station arrival | checkpoint at an intermediate yard auto-unloads bookings destined there | `booking-journey.service.ts:261` |
+| S30 cancel snapshot | `train_schedules.wagon_allocation_snapshot` jsonb, frozen before wagons are released; holds wagon numbers + per-slot weights | `train-scheduling.service.ts:3984`, `4647` |
+| S31 wagon transfer | statuses `PENDING/PARTIALLY_FULFILLED/FULFILLED/CLOSED_SHORT/CANCELLED` | `packages/types/src/freight/index.ts:353` |
+| S31 movement ledger | `wagon_movements`, kind `EMPTY_REPOSITION`, carries `transfer_request_id` | `wagon-movement.entity.ts:16,49,55` |
+| S37 risk history | `clearance_milestones.metadata` → `riskLevel` + append-only `riskHistory` (oldest-first) | `clearance-milestone.entity.ts:38`, `clearance-milestone.service.ts:250` |
+| S38 max 2 per truck | `MAX_CONTAINERS_PER_TRUCK = 2`, error `A truck carries at most 2 containers` | `truck-load.util.ts:5,36` |
+| S38 duplicate container | 409 `Container X is already loaded onto another truck` | `truck-load.util.ts:52` |
+| S40 re-price parks the booking | batch pool is `status = 'PAID'` exactly, so `PRICE_CHANGED_PENDING_CONFIRM` holds zero capacity | `bookings.repository.ts:1136` |
+
+## Corrected — same intent, different mechanism
+
+**S7 government.** The scenario says government "jumps the queue" via an
+institution field and a +50,000 priority. Two corrections:
+- the bonus is real (`GOVERNMENT_PRIORITY_BONUS = 50_000`,
+  `rule-engine.service.ts:258`) but keys off `bookings.is_government`, set from
+  `contracts.is_government` — there is no institution lookup;
+- government does not merely outrank, it **preempts**: it displaces the
+  lowest-priority already-reserved commercial booking and rides unpaid
+  (`preemptForGovernment`, and see `flows/government_preemption.cy.ts`).
+  Created via `POST /bookings` + `POST /bookings/:id/government-expedite`
+  against a `kind='government'` company, not through the contract wizard.
+
+**S8 priority tiers.** `USD_PAYER` / `RAIL_AND_FORWARDING` no longer exist as
+priority types — migration `1783000000000-ReplacePriorityRulesWithPriorityConfigs`
+replaced `priority_rules` with `priority_configs`, whose `type` is only
+`WAGON | CURRENCY | CUSTOMS`, scored by wagon-count range
+(`priority-config.entity.ts`, applied at `rule-engine.service.ts:247`). The
+scenario's ordering intent survives as: a CURRENCY(USD) config, a CUSTOMS
+config, and a plain booking that matches neither.
+
+**S3 "day stays open".** Best asserted through
+`GET /bookings/:id/day-availability?date=` → `{ fits, freeWagons, trainsForDay }`
+(`booking-transition.service.ts:1078`), which is what the portal calendar reads.
+
+## Contradicted — the engine does NOT do this
+
+These need a product decision before a test can be written honestly.
+
+**S26 — mid-corridor intercity is NOT blocked.** The scenario expects
+Dire Dawa → GMP (both Ethiopian) to be rejected as disabled intercity. It is
+the opposite: DOMESTIC is a first-class direction derived from yard countries
+(`bookings.service.ts:270`), and the guard rejects *non*-Ethiopian endpoints —
+`'Intercity bookings only run between Ethiopian yards'`
+(`bookings.service.ts:218`). The only related rejections are
+`'Intercity bookings cannot pin a date or schedule'` (`:771`) and
+`'No route passes through this origin and destination in order'`.
+→ Either the scenario is stale, or intercity was meant to be disabled and is
+not. Ticket, not a test.
+
+**S29 — there is no out-of-order checkpoint guard.** `recordCheckpoint`
+(`train-scheduling.service.ts:3681`) validates only: schedule exists, status is
+DISPATCHED, and the station is on the route. Nothing compares `sequenceNo`
+against the highest already logged, so "Arrived Adama" before "Passed Meiso" is
+accepted. `currentSequenceNo` is a `Math.max` (`:3643`) so the timeline does not
+visibly regress — which *masks* the real damage: the position fix at `:3741`
+moves the locomotives, every wagon on the schedule, and the built train to that
+station's yard. A stray backward checkpoint silently relocates rolling stock.
+→ Real bug. Worth a spec that documents current behaviour as `.skip` plus a
+ticket, rather than an assertion that pretends the guard exists.
+
+**S36 — `importReleaseGranted` is NOT gated on the second duty.** The scenario
+expects release to stay false until the second duty settles. `importReleaseGranted`
+is computed from the `IMPORT_RELEASE_GRANTED` milestone
+(`booking-clearance.service.ts:368`), which completes purely by uploading a file
+with fieldname `import_release`. `completeByDocTrigger`
+(`clearance-milestone.service.ts:430`) performs **no** precondition check, and
+`assertPriorCompleteOnMilestones` only walks *pre-booking* milestones
+(`clearance-workflow.service.ts:119`) — so all 17 post-`DO_COLLECTED` codes,
+including the whole `T1_CLOSED → RISK_ASSIGNED → SECOND_DUTY_* →
+IMPORT_RELEASE_GRANTED` tail, are unordered.
+→ Release can be granted with `SECOND_DUTY_PAID` still PENDING. Real gap.
+
+**S40 — hazardous quantity is NOT rejected, it is silently clamped.** The
+scenario expects `hazardousQuantity=12` on a `quantity=10` line to be rejected.
+The DTO has `@Min(0)` and no `@Max` (`create-booking.dto.ts:60`), and the
+repository clamps to `0..quantity` (`bookings.repository.ts:217`): the booking
+is created 201 with the value truncated, no warning. Reefer behaves identically.
+Note `returnQuantity` — same layer, same shape of data — *does* throw
+(`contract-booking.service.ts:1740`), so the pattern exists and these two just
+do not use it.
+→ Real gap. A test asserting rejection would fail today.
+
+**S40 — reefer is NOT derived from container type.** The scenario expects
+`reeferQuantity` forced to 0 for DRY types. No such logic exists; a DRY type
+with `reeferQuantity > 0` is an explicitly supported state and applies the
+surcharge anyway (`booking.entity.ts:384`, `booking-pricing.service.ts:402`).
+
+## Flag-dependent — assert the flag, or the test is vacuous
+
+**S13/S14/S18 "export never splits"** holds only while
+`FREIGHT_EXPORT_SPLIT !== "true"` (`booking-batch.service.ts:394`). With the
+flag on, `isSplitEligible` admits EXPORT (`:2558`) and `tryExportPartialOffer`
+(`:1240`) runs. The export specs must assert the flag is off, or they silently
+stop testing whole-or-nothing the day someone flips it.
+
+## Known type hole (not scenario-blocking)
+
+Last-mile and first-mile billing write the literal `'last_mile'` / `'first_mile'`
+cast past the type checker (`last-mile-invoice.service.ts:41`), while
+`Freight.InvoiceSource.LastMile` is `"lastmile"`. `invoices.source` is a plain
+varchar with no constraint, so both spellings persist. Writes and reads agree
+within each module so billing works — but S39's "invoice source LASTMILE"
+assertion must match `'last_mile'`, not the enum value.

+/**
+ * Shared helpers for the GROUP 1 scenario specs (g1_s1 … g1_s8).
+ *
+ * These specs are the "visual" variant of the corridor suite: the fleet
+ * configuration phase (wagons → locomotives → train consist → schedule) and
+ * every capacity verdict are driven and asserted through the BACKOFFICE UI,
+ * while the bulk of the cargo (50+ wagons ≈ 100+ ISO container inputs per
+ * scenario) is still created through the API. See `bookOneVisually` below for
+ * where the line is drawn and why.
+ *
+ * Everything here builds on ./import-utils — the corridor route, contract
+ * seeding, window choreography and polling are unchanged. This module adds
+ * only what Group 1 needs on top:
+ *
+ *   - a 53-WAGON BUILT TRAIN (seed-g1-train.sql). Group 1's arithmetic is
+ *     written for 53 slots; a loco-pair schedule cannot hold that number
+ *     because syncScheduleMaxWagons recomputes max_wagons from locomotive
+ *     length (floor(760 / 13.966) = 54 on this corridor). A built train's
+ *     physical consist wins outright — booking-batch.service.ts:4152:
+ *         const maxWagons = physicalWagons ?? capacityLimits(loco).base.wagons
+ *     so the consist staff marshal IS the capacity, and it survives the tick.
+ *
+ *   - the FULL / NOT FULL verdict helpers, which every scenario ends on.
+ *
+ * No module-level mutable state: Cypress re-evaluates the spec bundle on every
+ * cross-origin visit, so helpers resolve rows by stamped-reference suffix and
+ * newest-row, never by a captured id. (Same rule as import-utils.)

+ *

+ *   - reefer quantity on a DRY container type        (gap — see below)
+ *   - return quantity above the line quantity        (enforced)
+ *   - a re-priced booking parks with ZERO capacity footprint
+ *
+ * ── TWO SCENARIO CORRECTIONS (see SCENARIO_ENGINE_NOTES.md) ────────────────
+ *
+ * S40 expects `hazardousQuantity: 12` on a `quantity: 10` line to be REJECTED.
+ * It is not. The DTO carries only @IsOptional @IsInt @Min(0) with no @Max
+ * (create-booking.dto.ts:60-76), and the repository CLAMPS instead of throwing
+ * (bookings.repository.ts:217): the booking is created 201 with the value
+ * silently truncated to 10. Reefer behaves identically.
+ *
+ * Worth noting because it is the same layer and the same shape of data:
+ * `returnQuantity` DOES throw, with a precise message
+ * (contract-booking.service.ts:1740). So the pattern exists in the codebase —
+ * hazardous and reefer just do not use it. That asymmetry is asserted below,
+ * because it is the clearest evidence the clamp is an oversight rather than a
+ * deliberate design.
+ *
+ * S40 also expects reefer to be forced to 0 for DRY container types. No such
+ * logic exists: a DRY type with reeferQuantity > 0 is an explicitly supported
+ * state that applies the REEFER surcharge anyway (booking.entity.ts:384,
+ * booking-pricing.service.ts:402).
+ *
+ * Both are written as passing tests of CURRENT behaviour plus skipped tests of
+ * the DESIRED behaviour.
+ *
+ * Sequential steps per scenario — retries off.

+ *
+ * A/B/C are all selected by the batch and given pay windows. B and C pay. A
+ * never does: its deadline passes, A EXPIRES, and its 3 wagons are freed. The
+ * top-up pass then promotes D — whose 3 wagons fit the freed space EXACTLY —
+ * and D pays.
+ *
+ *   Final consist: B 20 + C 30 + D 3 = 53/53, FULL.
+ *   A is recoverable: its contract is untouched, so it can rebook a later day

+ *
+ * WHAT IS DRIVEN THROUGH THE UI (this is the "visual" spec of the pair)
+ *
+ *   - the whole fleet-configuration phase: the 53-wagon consist and its
+ *     locomotives are SEEN on the Train Composition tab before any cargo
+ *     exists, so the capacity under test is the capacity on screen;
+ *   - D — the small booking — is booked by the customer through the real
+ *     portal shipment form, end to end (6 containers = 6 ISO inputs);
+ *   - every capacity verdict is read off the backoffice Priority Tracking
+ *     tab: the "In the batch" / "Waiting list" / "Expired" lanes and the
+ *     literal `Capacity line · 53/53 wagons · FULL` divider.
+ *
+ * WHAT STAYS ON THE API, AND WHY
+ *
+ *   - A/B/C's cargo (53 wagons ≈ 106 ISO container numbers) — typing those
+ *     through the form is minutes of keystrokes per scenario and tests the
+ *     form, not the scheduling engine. `bookContainers` is the same helper
+ *     every corridor spec uses.
+ *   - PAYMENT. There is no mock/test payment path in the portal: "Pay now"
+ *     opens a provider modal that redirects off-origin to a real gateway
+ *     (useBookingPayment → window.location.href). Cypress cannot follow that,
+ *     so payment is settled the way every other spec settles it — staff
+ *     mark-paid, or the internal gateway webhook via `settleViaGateway`.
+ *
+ * Sequential steps of one journey — retries off (steps are not idempotent).

+/**
+ * GROUP 1 · S4 — an over-subscribed day closes its last gap with a split.
+ *
+ *   A  30×40FT  = 30 wagons
+ *   B  40×20FT  = 20 wagons
+ *   C  20×20FT  = 10 wagons
+ *                 ─────────
+ *                  60 wagons of demand for 53 slots
+ *
+ * The batch takes A (30) and B (20) whole — 50 used, 3 left. C needs 10 and
+ * cannot fit whole, so instead of being skipped it is OFFERED a PARTIAL of the
+ * 3 remaining wagons (6×20FT). C pays the offer, the split applies, and the
+ * train closes at 53/53.
+ *
+ * What the split leaves behind is the other half of the scenario:
+ *   - `is_split` set, and `pre_split_quantities` snapshotting {20FT: 20};
+ *   - the booking itself REDUCED to the offered 6 containers;
+ *   - a remainder of 14×20FT the customer rolls to the next window.
+ *
+ * Two engine facts this rests on (booking-batch.service.ts):
+ *   - a partial offer is sized by sizePartialOfferWagons against the BASE
+ *     capacity only — the locomotive's overage tolerance may never be spent to
+ *     size a split (that is Group 2 · S11);
+ *   - only the real payment-settle path applies a pending offer. Staff
+ *     mark-paid allocates the booking WHOLE and would silently defeat the
+ *     scenario — hence settleViaGateway for C.
+ *
+ * Sequential steps of one journey — retries off.

+ *
+ *   S6  a split offer nobody takes: the offer lapses, the booking expires

+ *
+ * TWO SCENARIO CORRECTIONS (see SCENARIO_ENGINE_NOTES.md for the full write-up)
+ *
+ *   S7 as written says a government booking with "institution set" gets
+ *   +50,000 priority and therefore sorts above commercial. The bonus is real
+ *   (GOVERNMENT_PRIORITY_BONUS = 50_000, rule-engine.service.ts:258) but it
+ *   keys off `bookings.is_government`, not an institution lookup — and
+ *   government does not merely outrank: it DISPLACES the lowest-priority
+ *   commercial reservation on an already-committed train and rides unpaid.
+ *   Government bookings are created via POST /bookings against a
+ *   kind='government' company and promoted with /government-expedite; they
+ *   never go through the contract wizard.
+ *
+ *   S8 as written names priority tiers USD_PAYER and RAIL_AND_FORWARDING.
+ *   Those enum values were retired with the `priority_rules` table
+ *   (migration 1783000000000-ReplacePriorityRulesWithPriorityConfigs). The

+/**
+ * GROUP 2 · S9–S12 — when WEIGHT binds before slots.
+ *
+ * Group 1 kept every non-slot axis slack so wagon arithmetic was the only
+ * thing under test. This group inverts that: the trains pull 3500T base
+ * (two 1750T locomotives — pull weight ADDS UP across a set,
+ * train-capacity.util.ts:358) and the cargo is heavy enough that the pull
+ * limit runs out before the 53 slots do.
+ *
+ * THE ARITHMETIC — all of it follows from `grossWagonWeightTons` = tare + cargo
+ * (train-capacity.util.ts:197). The weight axis is GROSS: a locomotive hauls
+ * the wagon as well as what is in it. NW5 tare = 22.4T, two 20ft per wagon:
+ *
+ *     heavy (28T VGM):  2 × 28 + 22.4 = 78.4T per wagon
+ *     light (12T VGM):  2 × 12 + 22.4 = 46.4T per wagon
+ *
+ *   S9  35 wagons × 78.4 = 2744.0T fits; +10 more = 3528.0T breaks 3500T.
+ *       C is refused on WEIGHT with 18 slots still empty.
+ *   S10 the same 3528T is admitted WHOLE on a train whose locomotives carry a
+ *       90T tolerance (cap 3590T). Tolerance buys a whole booking, nothing else.
+ *   S11 with 756T of base room left, a split may size at most 9 wagons
+ *       (705.6T) — never 10, because a split is budgeted against BASE only.
+ *   S12 light cargo: 53 wagons weigh 2459.2T, 70% of the limit. SLOTS bind.
+ *
+ * Each scenario names the binding axis in its verdict — "FULL by weight at
+ * 35/53 slots" and "FULL by slots at 70% weight" are different states and a
+ * test that only counted wagons could not tell them apart.
+ *
+ * Fixture: seed-g2-weight.sql (TRN-G2-BASE, TRN-G2-TOL — both 53 NW5 wagons,
+ * so any difference in outcome is attributable to weight alone).
+ *
+ * Sequential steps per scenario — retries off.

+/**
+ * GROUP 3 · S13–S18 — EXPORT is first-come-first-served and whole-or-nothing.
+ *
+ * Export does not run the import batch. There is no window/doc-review/priority
+ * cycle: ops ACCEPT is the reservation (`acceptExportBooking` →
+ * `pickExportSchedule`, booking-batch.service.ts:1301), and an export booking
+ * must ride ONE train WHOLE — it is never split across trains and never
+ * part-loaded.
+ *
+ *   S13 unpaid holds occupy space until they expire
+ *   S14 whole-or-nothing packing SKIPS a booking that cannot fit, and takes
+ *       smaller ones behind it
+ *   S15 the customer chooses between two departures on the same day
+ *   S16 a hold expiring flips `fits` back for the next customer
+ *   S17 clearance holds gate one booking without touching the other 33 wagons
+ *   S18 a booking bigger than any train is refused outright
+ *
+ * ── THE FLAG THIS GROUP DEPENDS ON ────────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * "Export never splits" is TRUE ONLY while FREIGHT_EXPORT_SPLIT is off
+ * (booking-batch.service.ts:394). With the flag on, `isSplitEligible` admits
+ * EXPORT (:2558) and `tryExportPartialOffer` (:1240) starts making partial
+ * offers — at which point S14 and S18 would silently stop testing
+ * whole-or-nothing and still pass for the wrong reason.
+ *
+ * The first test below asserts the flag is off. If it fails, do not "fix" the
+ * assertion — the rest of this group is meaningless until the flag is back off.
+ *
+ * Corridor: the reversed corridor KALITY → DJIB_PORT (ET → DJ = EXPORT),
+ * created by ensureExportRoute(). Export trains run on loco pairs from the
+ * corridor fixture; capacity is the 54-slot loco-derived figure, so this group
+ * is written in 54s rather than Group 1's built-train 53.
+ *
+ * Sequential steps per scenario — retries off.

+/**
+ * GROUP 4 · S19–S21 — two trains on one import day.
+ *
+ * The import batch fills a route-DAY, not a single schedule: `topUpFill`
+ * re-runs the whole day pool (booking-batch.service.ts:2277, and see the
+ * comment at :2284 explaining why a schedule-scoped query was the bug). So a
+ * day with two departures is one pool with two boards, and these scenarios
+ * pin down how demand lands across them.
+ *
+ *   S19 an oversized booking is split ACROSS the two trains (import may do
+ *       what export cannot — see Group 3)
+ *   S20 the batch prefers whole placements over forcing a split when a second
+ *       train exists
+ *   S21 the fill-first-train policy: T1 is closed out with a split before T2
+ *       is opened up
+ *
+ * ── S20 vs S21 ARE COMPETING POLICIES ──────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * The original scenario document poses them as alternatives and says "pick
+ * one, the test asserts it". They cannot both be true of the same engine:
+ *   S20 says a 10-wagon booking facing a 3-wagon gap on T1 goes WHOLE to T2;

+ * GROUP 6 · S25–S29 — the train on the corridor.
+ *
+ *   S25 three bookings alight at three different stations on one run
+ *   S26 mid-corridor (Ethiopia → Ethiopia) boarding — see the correction below
+ *   S27 tracking before the booking is on a schedule at all
+ *   S28 a booking ARRIVES while its train is still moving
+ *   S29 out-of-order checkpoints — see the correction below
+ *
+ * Corridor (6 stops, DJ → ET = IMPORT):
+ *   DJIB_PORT → NAGAD → DIRE_DAWA → E2E_AWASH → MOJO → KALITY
+ *   seq 0        1       2           3           4      5
+ *
+ * ── TWO SCENARIO CORRECTIONS (full write-up in SCENARIO_ENGINE_NOTES.md) ───
+ *
+ * S26 is INVERTED. The scenario expects a mid-corridor Ethiopian booking to be
+ * rejected as disabled intercity. The engine does the opposite: DOMESTIC is a
+ * first-class direction derived from the yards' countries
+ * (bookings.service.ts:270), and the guard rejects *non*-Ethiopian endpoints —
+ * 'Intercity bookings only run between Ethiopian yards' (:218). Per the
+ * decision recorded in the notes, S26 is written to assert that intercity
+ * WORKS, plus the two constraints that really do apply to it.
+ *
+ * S29 asserts a guard that DOES NOT EXIST. `recordCheckpoint`
+ * (train-scheduling.service.ts:3681) validates only that the schedule exists,
+ * is DISPATCHED, and that the station is on the route. Nothing compares
+ * sequenceNo against the highest already logged, so "Arrived Adama" before
+ * "Passed Meiso" is accepted. It is written below as a passing test of CURRENT
+ * behaviour plus a skipped test of the DESIRED behaviour, because the gap has
+ * teeth: the position fix at :3741 relocates the locomotives, every wagon on
+ * the schedule, and the built train to the out-of-order station's yard.
+ *
+ * Sequential steps per scenario — retries off.

+ *
+ *   S30 the schedule is cancelled after everything was allocated
+ *   S31 the yard is short of wagons, and a transfer request fills the gap
+ *   S32 a wagon fails before dispatch and is replaced in place
+ *   S33 the departure time arrives with the train under-filled
+ *
+ * The common thread is EVIDENCE. A disruption must leave a record that
+ * survives it: a frozen snapshot of what the train was, a movement ledger row
+ * for every wagon that moved and why, a transfer request that says who asked
+ * for what. A cancellation that merely deleted rows would be indistinguishable
+ * from a train that never existed.
+ *
+ * Sequential steps per scenario — retries off.

+/**
+ * GROUP 8 · S34–S37 — the import customs walk.
+ *
+ *   S34 the full clearance chain, milestone by milestone, in order
+ *   S35 draft-declaration ping-pong: reject, correct, reject, accept
+ *   S36 a second duty raised after arrival — see the correction below
+ *   S37 risk level history: three assignments, oldest-first
+ *
+ * Clearance is per BOOKING and runs alongside scheduling, never inside it. A
+ * booking's seat on a train is not affected by where its paperwork has got to
+ * (Group 3 · S17 asserts the converse: paperwork does not block the train).
+ *
+ * The 28 import milestone codes are defined in
+ * packages/types/src/freight/contracts.ts:673 (IMPORT_MILESTONES); the split
+ * between contract-level and booking-level is IMPORT_PRE_BOOKING_LAST =
+ * 'DO_COLLECTED' (clearance-milestone.catalog.ts:93). Codes before it hang off
+ * the contract, codes after it off the booking.
+ *
+ * ── ONE SCENARIO CORRECTION (see SCENARIO_ENGINE_NOTES.md) ─────────────────
+ *
+ * S36 expects `importReleaseGranted` to stay false until the second duty
+ * settles. It does not: the milestone completes purely by uploading a file
+ * with fieldname `import_release`, and `completeByDocTrigger`
+ * (clearance-milestone.service.ts:430) performs NO precondition check.
+ * `assertPriorCompleteOnMilestones` only walks PRE-booking milestones
+ * (clearance-workflow.service.ts:119), so the entire post-DO_COLLECTED tail —
+ * T1_CLOSED → RISK_ASSIGNED → SECOND_DUTY_* → IMPORT_RELEASE_GRANTED — is
+ * unordered. Release can be granted with SECOND_DUTY_PAID still PENDING.
+ * Written below as current behaviour + a skipped test of the desired gate.
+ *
+ * Sequential steps per scenario — retries off.

+ *   S38 three arrived bookings collected by the customers' own trucks
+ *   S39 three different post-arrival paths off ONE train: EDR last-mile,
+ *       customer self-haul, and plain yard pickup
+ *
+ * Self-haul and last-mile are mutually exclusive per booking — the engine
+ * enforces it both ways (mile-haulage.util.ts:38-42). What marks a booking as
+ * last-mile is the delivery ADDRESS alone; coordinates are stored but gate
+ * nothing (mile-haulage.util.ts:20-31, whose docstring explains that
+ * `service_types.includes_last_mile` ships true on every service type and is
+ * therefore useless as a signal).
+ *
+ * The truck rules under test (all in common/truck-load.util.ts):
+ *   - MAX_CONTAINERS_PER_TRUCK = 2          → "A truck carries at most 2 containers"
+ *   - a 40ft container fills a truck alone  → "assign only 1 container to this truck"
+ *   - a container may ride ONE truck only   → 409 "already loaded onto another truck"
+ *   - a truck may only carry THIS booking's containers
+ *
+ * Sequential steps per scenario — retries off.

+--
+-- The weight axis is GROSS — a locomotive hauls the wagon as well as its
+-- cargo (`grossWagonWeightTons` = tare + cargo). NW5 tare is 22.4T, and two
+-- 20ft containers ride one NW5. So with a heavy VGM of 28T per container:
+--
+--     wagon gross = 2 × 28 + 22.4 = 78.4T          ← S9's number exactly
+--
+--   S9  base pull 3500T:  35 wagons × 78.4 = 2744.0T  ✔ fits
+--                         45 wagons × 78.4 = 3528.0T  ✘ over base
+--       → C is blocked on WEIGHT while 18 slots still sit empty.
+--
+--   S10 tolerance 90T → cap 3590T: 3528 ≤ 3590, so C is admitted WHOLE.
+--       Tolerance is spendable ONLY to admit a booking whole.
+--
+--   S11 after 2744T used, base room = 3500 − 2744 = 756T.
+--       756 / 78.4 = 9.64 → a split may size at most 9 wagons (705.6T).
+--       It may NEVER reach 10 by dipping into the 90T tolerance, because
+--       sizePartialOfferWagons budgets against BASE only
+--       (train-capacity.util.ts:58, booking-batch.service.ts:4109).
+--

+--
+-- TWO LOCOMOTIVE PAIRS, ONE TRAIN EACH
