# repeat — Repeats a test a fixed number of times.

#
# What this teaches:
#   • Test flakiness mitigation — `repeat <N>` runs a test case up to N times
#     until it passes; useful for non-deterministic or flaky tests
#   • Declared as a test modifier on `test`
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • Confusing `repeat` (test repetition modifier) with `for` (loop iterator) or `do`/`while` (loop constructs).

# repeat — repeat test modifier
#
# GRAMMAR:
#   testModifier :← 'repeat' integer
#
# EXPECTED OUTPUT:
#   No main — declaration or test-runner surface only.
#
# BACKEND:
#   declaration-only test modifier (whitelist: repeat/repete.fab).
