/**
 * MCP `initialize` handshake regression tests.
 *
 * Issue #172: on slow filesystems (Docker Desktop VirtioFS on macOS, WSL2),
 * the MCP server was blocking the initialize response on CodeGraph.open() and
 * Parser.init() (web-tree-sitter WASM bootstrap), which could take longer than
 * Claude Code's ~30s handshake timeout. The child process stayed alive and
 * had received the request, but never sent a response, so tools never
 * appeared in the client. The fix sends the initialize response before
 * kicking off the heavy init in the background. These tests guard the
 * contract that initialize is fast regardless of how much work init does.
