+# Flake hammer: the conn-lifecycle test discipline, in one command.
+#
+# Default (no args) = the full pre-commit ritual for conn-lifecycle changes:
+#   1. N x the lifecycle-sensitive integration subset (fail-fast)
+#   2. M x the full suite (unit + integration + doc)
+#
+# Usage:
+#   scripts/hammer.sh                 # 35x subset + 3x full
+#   scripts/hammer.sh -n 50 -f 5      # override counts
+#   scripts/hammer.sh -n 20 -f 0 -- shutdown sse   # custom filter, skip full runs
+#
+# On failure: stops immediately, output of the failing run is in $LOG.
