+ *
+ * CI behavior:
+ * - Historically, these tests were skipped in GitHub Actions due to a Bun
+ *   test runner issue where the in-memory SQLite database was not reliably
+ *   cleared between tests.
+ * - We've now standardized the test lifecycle to match other unit/lib tests
+ *   (using __filename-based DB registration and beforeEach cleanup).
+ * - All tests use in-memory SQLite for speed and consistency across environments.
+ *
+ * See: docs/archive/CI-STREAK-TEST-FAILURE-INVESTIGATION.md for the original

 # CI Streak Test Failure Investigation
 
-**Status**: RESOLVED - Tests skipped in CI  
+**Status**: IN PROGRESS - Testing standardized lifecycle with in-memory DB  
 **Date**: November 21-22, 2025  
 **Resolution Date**: November 22, 2025  
 **Issue**: Streak tests pass 100% locally, fail 100% in CI
