+"""lasuite-docs — Phase-2 P3 §4.3 prescribed create-a-doc + read-back test.
+
+Plan §4.3 explicitly names this test for lasuite-docs: "create a doc, edit via the API, confirm
+persistence". This is the canonical create-an-object + read-it-back for lasuite-docs.
+
+Flow (uses an OIDC token from the dep keycloak):
+1. Obtain a JWT via OIDC password grant against the dep keycloak (the test user is provisioned
+   by the orchestrator's setup_custom_tests step).
+2. POST `/api/v1.0/documents/` with `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>` to create a new doc with a
+   unique title; capture the returned `id`.
+3. GET `/api/v1.0/documents/<id>/` with the same Bearer token; assert the returned title and
+   id match.
+
+Non-vacuous: a misconfigured OIDC, broken backend, or missing endpoint fails at the layer it's
+broken. The marker-in-the-title + id round-trip proves the doc actually persisted in lasuite-
+docs's database after going through the recipe's nginx → backend → postgres path.
+
+Marked @pytest.mark.requires_deps — skips with `deps-not-ready` if setup_custom_tests failed.
