**Total: 39 new tests (311 total in suite)**

## Bugs discovered

None.

## Observations for future iterations

1. **AssertState has 4 variants with distinct semantics**:
   - True: any of the required flags must be present (OR)
   - False: all of the forbidden flags must be absent (AND)
   - TrueFalse: True AND False simultaneously
   - Equal: exact flag match
   This is a critical invariant for REPL command availability.

2. **The .agent command uses AssertState::bare()** (Equal(empty)),
   meaning it's only available when NO other scope is active. This
   is stricter than False — it requires exactly empty state.

3. **All 39 REPL commands** have correct dot prefixes and non-empty
   descriptions. Verified as structural invariants.

4. **The multiline ::: syntax** is handled by a regex that requires
   both opening and closing markers. The ReplValidator marks
   single-marker input as Incomplete for the line editor.

5. **Command handler tests** (the actual .role, .session, .agent
   implementations) require full async RequestContext with
   filesystem access. These are integration tests and are deferred.
