"""Tests for the auto-continue feature (#4493).

When the gateway restarts mid-agent-work, the session transcript ends on a
tool result that the agent never processed.  The auto-continue logic detects
this and prepends a system note to the next user message so the model
finishes the interrupted work before addressing the new input.
