+// Tests for FGP #8 — "BoltDB handles never closed in runNode — leaked
+// locks prevent clean restart".
+//
+// Issue:    https://github.com/unicitynetwork/finality-gadget/issues/8
+// Fix PR:   https://github.com/unicitynetwork/finality-gadget/pull/13
+// Fix commit: 1718933 "close databases"
+//
+// The fix added three `defer db.Close()` calls to cmd/run.go at lines
+// 139, 179, 197 for shardConfDB, trustBaseDB, blockDB respectively. It
+// also changed initDB's return type from keyvaluedb.KeyValueDB (interface,
+// no Close()) to *boltdb.BoltDB (concrete, has Close()).
+//
+// What these tests prove:
+//
+//   T1  — `Test_BoltDB_ExclusiveLock_HeldByOpener`:
+//         BoltDB takes an exclusive lock while open. A second open of the
+//         SAME path while the first handle is still open MUST fail.
+//         This establishes that the bug premise is real — without defer
+//         Close, a process trying to re-open its own DB will deadlock or
+//         fail.
+//
+//   T2  — `Test_BoltDB_LockReleased_AfterClose`:
+//         After Close(), the same path can be re-opened. This is the
+//         mechanism the fix relies on — defer Close() fires, lock is
+//         released, next opener succeeds.
+//
+//   T3  — `Test_RunNode_ReleasesAllThreeDBLocksOnReturn`:
+//         Integration-level: replicate runNode's exact DB-opening
+//         sequence (3 BoltDBs) including the deferred Close() calls,
+//         then in phase 2 attempt to re-open all three files. All three
+//         re-opens MUST succeed. If any `defer Close()` were missing,
+//         the corresponding re-open would fail. This is the symptom-
+//         level test of the #8 fix.
+//
+// NOT covered (out of scope of this fix):
+//   - The two "Related Issues" from the #8 body: logger Sync() on
+//     shutdown and private-key zeroing. The fix silently dropped both;
+//     see INVESTIGATIONS.md §F8-related entries for the gap.

+//
+// Issue: https://github.com/unicitynetwork/finality-gadget/issues/8
+// Tracked: INVESTIGATIONS.md §F13 (aggregator-subscription)
+//
+// These tests probe whether the F13 concern is VALID and CURRENTLY UNADDRESSED.

+// and should be UPDATED (require.NoError → require.True for "exposed API")
+// once the production fix lands.
+//
+// What we want to know:
+//
+//   Q1: Is there a public API on the logger package that an operator can
+//       call to flush log buffers before shutdown?
+//       Test G1: confirms NO such API exists today.
+//
+//   Q2: Is the log file's underlying *os.File accessible by callers (so they
+//       could call Sync() on it themselves)?
+//       Test G2: confirms NO — `filenameToWriter` returns io.Writer, and the
+//       returned *slog.Logger does not expose the *os.File.
+//
+//   Q3: Without an explicit Sync(), does graceful shutdown (process exit
+//       after `cmd/main.go:quitSignalContext()` cancels ctx) actually lose
+//       log lines?
+//       Test G3: writes N lines, drops the logger reference, then re-reads
+//       the file from disk to count lines. With Go's *os.File.Write being
+//       unbuffered (one write() syscall per line), this measures whether
+//       data is lost in practice.
+//       → Outcome predicts whether the issue body's "risking data loss"
+//         framing is real for the process-exit case, or whether (like #8's
+//         lock framing) it's only true for system-level crashes.
