+#
+# The target database must already have sql/pgque.sql installed. The harness
+# creates one temporary queue name, inserts one event, then proves that a second
+# concurrent pgque.receive(queue, consumer) call blocks behind the first session
+# and does not receive a different batch while the first batch remains active.
+# It is intentionally useful as a red/green validator for the #97/#125 fix:
+# pre-fix code should fail by returning too quickly and/or duplicating the row;
+# the row-lock fix should make it wait and idempotently return the same batch.
