+//! End-to-end tests for the Truth Engine integration.
+//!
+//! These tests verify the `evaluate` and `truth_status` MCP tools,
+//! enhanced query responses with truth fields, and the background
+//! scoring pipeline.
+//!
+//! Prerequisites:
+//!   - OpenBrain MCP server running with `OPENBRAIN__TRUTH__ENABLED=true`
+//!   - Database accessible and migrated
+//!   - Set `OPENBRAIN_E2E_BASE_URL` if not using default `http://127.0.0.1:3100`
