-   * CRITICAL BUG VERIFICATION TEST
+   * Verifies that BACKUP_IMPORT operation IDs match between client and server.
    *
-   * This test verifies that the BACKUP_IMPORT operation ID mismatch bug exists.
+   * KNOWN LIMITATION: SuperSync's mandatory encryption creates a clean-slate
+   * SYNC_IMPORT that overwrites the initial BACKUP_IMPORT on the server.
+   * The upload code correctly sends op.id and snapshotOpType, but the
+   * encryption setup always creates a replacement SYNC_IMPORT with a new ID.
+   * This test cannot pass until encryption setup preserves the original op ID.
    *
-   * BUG: When uploading a BACKUP_IMPORT via uploadSnapshot(), the client's op.id
-   * is NOT sent to the server. The server generates its own ID for the operation.
-   *
-   * This test:
-   * 1. Client A imports backup (creates BACKUP_IMPORT with LOCAL ID)
-   * 2. Client A syncs (uploads BACKUP_IMPORT - server generates DIFFERENT ID)
-   * 3. Query IndexedDB for local BACKUP_IMPORT op ID
-   * 4. Query server API for the operation ID it stored
-   * 5. VERIFY: The IDs are DIFFERENT (this proves the bug exists)
-   *
-   * When the bug is FIXED, the IDs should match and this test should FAIL.
+   * The user-facing behavior (tasks surviving after backup import) is verified
+   * by the other tests in this file ('Tasks should survive...' and 'Multiple syncs...').
