     - pass

Preconditions
-------------

Safety context initialized with hazard thresholds and debounce values.

Procedure
---------

1) Run nominal dispatch cycles. 2) Inject hazard events for multiple cycles. 3) Continue dispatch until protection is active. 4) Inject clear conditions and verify recovery.

Expected Result
---------------

Safety state enters protection only on valid hazard criteria and clears through the defined path

Traceability
