+/// Regression test for the alarm-during-sleep-transition race.
+///
+/// Scenario: an actor schedules an alarm in the near future, then immediately
+/// sends a sleep intent. The stop flow may take long enough that the alarm
+/// becomes overdue while `handle_stopped` is processing `Decision::Sleep`.
+///
+/// Before the fix in `actor2/runtime.rs`, this window cleared `state.alarm_ts`
+/// without handling the overdue alarm, so the scheduled work was silently
+/// dropped and the actor went to sleep. The handler would never run.
+///
+/// After the fix, `Decision::Sleep` detects the overdue alarm, reallocates the
+/// actor, and bumps the generation so the alarm handler runs. This test
+/// verifies that path by setting a very short alarm offset and checking the
+/// actor wakes to generation 1 instead of sleeping forever.
+///
+/// Expected: the alarm triggers via reallocation. If the fix is reverted, the
+/// alarm will never trigger and this test will time out waiting for the wake.
