+/**
+ * tests/integration/bi-p103-slo-baseline.integration.test.ts
+ * ===========================================================
+ * BI-P103 — "Measured baselines exist."
+ *
+ * `src/analytics/slo/bi-slo.ts` said the first baselines were recorded in
+ * `evidence/bi-p103`. There was no `evidence/bi-p103`. The catalogue and the
+ * evaluator were both real and both well tested — against SYNTHETIC events.
+ * A synthetic event carries whatever duration the test author typed, so a
+ * suite built only on those proves the arithmetic and nothing about the
+ * system: it cannot tell you a dashboard query takes 8 ms or 8 s.
+ *
+ * So this harness produces the baselines from queries that actually ran:
+ *
+ *   * ~120 COLD dashboard queries, each a different filter so the BI-P020
+ *     cache genuinely misses, executed against a live ClickHouse;
+ *   * the same ~120 again through the SAME shipped cache, now hitting, so
+ *     `dash.p95_cached` is a measured cache path and not an assumption;
+ *   * 220 exploration queries, enough for `explore.p99`'s min_samples of 200
+ *     to be met rather than reported low-confidence.
+ *
+ * Every duration is wall-clock around the real call. The telemetry goes
+ * through the SHIPPED producer (`biUsageEventsForExecution`) and the SHIPPED
+ * evaluator (`evaluateBiSlos`) — not a copy — so the evidence is produced by
+ * the code under test.
+ *
+ * WHAT THE BASELINE DELIBERATELY DOES NOT CONTAIN. `dash.freshness`,
+ * `explore.timeout` and `report.delivery_sla` are not measurable from usage
+ * events and the evaluator says so; `report.completion_sla` has no producer in
+ * 0pt at all (nothing here emits `aud0.report_generated`). They appear in the
+ * evidence with their real status rather than being quietly dropped, because a
+ * baseline table that lists only the rows that worked is how an estate comes
+ * to believe it measures more than it does.
+ *
+ * These numbers describe THIS fixture on THIS machine against a local
+ * ClickHouse with warm page cache. They are a floor for the shape of the
+ * distribution, not a production SLA — and the evidence file says which parts
+ * are narrower than production: the cached path is the in-process reference
+ * cache rather than Valkey, every latency is the engine round trip with no
+ * HTTP or authorization layer around it, and there is no concurrency.
+ *

+/**
+ * tests/integration/semantic-parity.integration.test.ts
+ * ======================================================
+ * BI-P029 — the parity test `src/analytics/metrics/semantic-provider.ts` has
+ * been citing.
+ *
+ * IT DID NOT EXIST. The provider's header named this path as the proof of the
+ * one DoD surface it claimed was closed, and `providerReadiness().proven`
+ * asserted that "0pt's metric compiler and an independent spec-driven renderer
+ * return the same number for the golden metric against live ClickHouse data".
+ * Nothing in the repository executed that comparison. A citation to a file
+ * that is not there is the same failure as a green check that gates nothing:
+ * it survives review because the sentence reads like evidence.
+ *
+ * So this file is the comparison, run for real:
+ *
+ *   PATH A  parseAnalyticsQueryRequest -> resolveAnalyticsQuery ->
+ *           compileRequestToClickHouse -> live ClickHouse.
+ *   PATH B  the same ResolvedQuery -> compileRequestToSemantic ->
+ *           MetricFlowProvider.compile -> `renderIndependently` below, which
+ *           reads ONLY the provider's structured query object and the registry
+ *           model, writes its own SQL with its own quoting, and shares no line
+ *           of code with compile-clickhouse.ts -> the same live ClickHouse.
+ *
+ * The two paths must return the same numbers. `renderIndependently` inlines
+ * literals where compile-clickhouse binds parameters, groups by the physical
+ * column expression rather than by a compiler alias, and orders in SQL rather
+ * than by alias — so the SQL strings genuinely differ, and the test asserts
+ * that they do. Two identical strings would make the parity claim vacuous.
+ *
+ * WHAT THIS STILL DOES NOT PROVE, and `providerReadiness()` still says so:
+ * MetricFlow itself is not executed here (no Python runtime is provisioned for
+ * this repo), and neither the Superset path nor the AI Analyst path is
+ * compared. Three of BI-P029's four DoD surfaces remain open. This closes the
+ * first one honestly rather than closing all four by assertion.
+ *
+ *   CLICKHOUSE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:28123 CLICKHOUSE_AUTH=default:test \
+ *     pnpm vitest run tests/integration/semantic-parity.integration.test.ts

+ * It CREATEs and DROPs its own database. Never point it at the b0ts
