+// Test ordering behaviour between /sync and /messages, when unexpected earlier federation events are injected.
+// This aims to ensure that clients cannot miss events in the following case:
+//
+//	consider two homeservers in the same room starting at some event 0. Then:
+//	  - network partition the servers
+//	  - HS1 sends 1, HS2 sends 1'
+//	  - a local user on HS1 sends 2,3,4
+//	  - network partition is fixed. HS2 sends 1' to HS1.
+//	  - a local user on HS1 sends 5,6,7
+//	  - At this point, from HS1's pov, the streaming ordering is [1,2,3,4,1',5,6,7] and the topological order is [1 | 1', 2,3,4,5,6,7]
+//	  - client requests timeline limit = 4 => [1',5,6,7] is returned because /sync is stream ordering. Everything is fine so far.
+//	  - using the prev_batch token here in /messages SHOULD return 4,3,2,1, to ensure clients cannot missing 4,3,2.
+//	    It may actually decide to filter topologically and just return 0, which would be incorrect.
