"""Tests for the auto-continue feature (#4493 / #45232).
When the gateway restarts mid-agent-work, the session transcript can end on a
tool result that the agent never processed. The auto-continue logic detects
this and prepends an API-only system note to the next user message so the model
does not re-execute stale interrupted tool calls before addressing new input.
