+"""Tests for verifying context is updated before next LLM completion during node transitions.
+
+This module tests that when the LLM calls a node transition function, the context is
+properly updated with the function call result BEFORE the next LLM completion is triggered.
+
+The key behavior being tested:
+1. LLM calls a transition function (e.g., "collect_info")
+2. The function result is added to the context
+3. The new node's system prompt is set
+4. Only THEN is the next LLM completion triggered
+
+This ensures proper conversation flow where the LLM sees its previous tool call
+result in the context when generating the next response.
