+ * Stress test for concurrent {@link DocumentSession} usage. Drives N
+ * independent sessions in parallel and asserts each produces a
+ * well-formed PDF (validates no race conditions in shared font /
+ * registry / cache state) and that sessions seeded with identical
+ * content produce identical layout graphs (validates layout
+ * determinism under concurrency).
+ *
+ * <p>Each {@link DocumentSession} is single-threaded by contract — the
+ * stress test exercises a fleet of <strong>independent</strong>
+ * sessions, each owned by exactly one thread, not concurrent access to
+ * a single session. The guarantee under test is that the
+ * <em>process-wide</em> machinery (default font registry, glyph cache,
+ * built-in node definitions, shape outline cache) handles concurrent
+ * lookup safely.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Tracked as Track I1 / I2 in the v1.6.6 readiness taskboard.</p>
