Restore real protection coverage in the test suite

Replace stale skips and weak assertions with checks that exercise the actual runner, policy, resume, A2A, and circuit-breaker paths.

Constraint: Preserve environment-gated tests that depend on unavailable local capabilities.
Rejected: Keeping audit-event assertions that the runner never emits | stale and misleading
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep patch targets aligned with imported symbols when code uses from-imports.
Tested: git diff --check; python3 -m pytest tests/test_tui.py tests/test_cli_chat.py tests/test_llm_conformance.py tests/test_undo_diff_preview.py tests/integration/test_file_policy.py tests/integration/test_ultrawork_notify.py tests/integration/test_a2a_circuit_breaker.py tests/acceptance/test_a2a_federation_flow.py tests/acceptance/test_automation_webhook_delivery_flow.py tests/acceptance/test_policy_as_code_flow.py -q
Not-tested: platform-gated ssh/watchdog tests
