+/// Pins what the client's threading model does today; see "Threading model" in CLAUDE.md.
+/// The first test is the guarantee the model gives. The others are its pitfalls, asserted as
+/// they are rather than as they should be: when one of them starts failing, the model changed
+/// and the documentation needs an update. The check-then-subscribe race inside the library is
+/// covered by PageWaitForUrlTests.ShouldNotMissNavigationCommittedRightAfterTheCall (#3364).
