+"""Regression tests for the ContextGraph module docstring example.
+
+The "Example Usage" block in ``semantica/context/context_graph.py`` previously
+called ``add_node``/``add_edge`` with keyword arguments those methods do not
+accept (``type=`` and ``properties=``), so the documented example raised
+``TypeError`` -- and the near-miss variants silently nested the properties dict
+instead of failing.
+
+These tests keep the documented example executable and pin the two behaviours
+that made the original mistake easy to miss.
