+# Replay for the core#2737 staging SaaS smoke canary — captures the
+# canary's exact A2A round-trip in the local harness so the failure
+# (the A2A queue polling step that has been red for many runs) can
+# be reproduced + diagnosed locally without re-running the full
+# staging SaaS canary.
+#
+# What this catches that unit tests don't:
+#   - Real cf-proxy Host-header routing of the A2A path (canvas → cf-proxy
+#     → tenant via X-Molecule-Org-Id / Authorization / X-Workspace-ID).
+#   - The A2A_QUEUE poll loop (test_staging_full_saas.sh:1105-1170) that
+#     has been timing out on staging — the canary does GET
+#     /workspaces/:id/a2a/queue/:qid until the known-answer PONG
+#     surfaces, OR times out. The harness replays the same shape against
+#     a local tenant.
+#   - TenantGuard middleware in the path (production-shape, not unit-mock'd).
+#   - The full canvas → proxy → A2A handler wire, not the unit-tested
+#     handler signature alone.
+#
+# Why the canary's A2A queue step is captured here (not elsewhere):
+#   - The other replays exercise workspace / peer / activity paths.
+#   - None of them drive the A2A queue polling — which is precisely the
+#     step that has been red on staging.
+#   - This replay is the narrowest production-shape mirror of that
+#     step: one A2A message + one queue poll for the known-answer PONG.
+#     A regression in the proxy / queue / agent-bridge surfaces here
+#     even if unit tests on the handler are green.
+#
+# Phases:
+#   A. Confirm the harness + tenant + seeded workspace are alive.
+#   B. POST /a2a (message/send) for a known-answer payload.
+#   C. Poll GET /a2a/queue until the agent responds OR timeout.
+#   D. Assert the response body is the known-answer PONG (or close).
+#
+# Failure modes this catches (matching the staging failure pattern):
+#   - 524 from cf-proxy: queue poll returns 524 → loop should fail loud.
+#   - WS starvation: agent is dispatched but never replies → poll times out.
+#   - A2A_QUEUE poll returns "no items" forever (the symptom the
+#     Researcher pinned in core#2737 at test_staging_full_saas.sh:1105-1170).
+#
+# Required env (set by the harness's up.sh + seed.sh):
