+/**
+ * Mock claude CLI for E2E testing.
+ *
+ * Parses the same --prompt / --output-format / --allowedTools flags that
+ * the real claude CLI accepts, then emits stream-json NDJSON that exercises
+ * specific code paths in sidebar-agent.ts's handleStreamEvent.
+ *
+ * Behavior is controlled by MOCK_CLAUDE_SCENARIO env var:
+ *   * 'canary_leak_in_tool_arg' — emits a tool_use with the session canary
+ *     embedded in a URL query arg. sidebar-agent's canary detector should
+ *     fire, emit security_event, and SIGTERM this process.
+ *   * 'clean' — emits a benign tool_use + text response. Normal flow.
+ *
+ * Exits 0 on completion or 143 when SIGTERM'd (expected for canary_leak).
