+/// W5-WEBUI-API-2: a browser refresh mid-gate must let the user rediscover
+/// and resolve a pending approval gate. Mounts the real `webui_v2` router
+/// over a hand-built `RebornServices` facade wired with the harness's own
+/// turn-state-converged `ApprovalInteractionService`
+/// (`local_dev_approval_interaction_service_with_turn_state_for_test`, the
+/// same seam `RebornIntegrationGroupBuilder::with_real_gate_dispatch_services`
+/// wires into `DefaultProductWorkflow`) and the production event-stream
+/// recipe `sse_activity_stream_replay_and_reconnect` above already pins.
+///
+/// "Refresh" is simulated the same way that precedent does: a fresh
+/// `stream_events` drain with `after_cursor: None` — the SSE handler is a
+/// polling wrapper over the same drain (W5-WEBUI-SPIKE), so this is
+/// behaviorally equivalent to a browser opening a brand new `EventSource`
+/// after a cold reload, without the fragility of reading a chunked HTTP body
+/// through `tower::ServiceExt::oneshot`.
