+Regression tests for Python 3.12+ coverage re-instrumentation between contexts.
+
+These tests verify that coverage collection properly re-instruments code between
+different coverage contexts (e.g., between tests or suites). This is critical
+for the DISABLE optimization in Python 3.12+ where monitoring is disabled after
+each line is recorded, and must be re-enabled for subsequent contexts.
+
+The tests are intentionally high-level to survive implementation changes while
+ensuring:
+1. Each context gets complete coverage data
+2. No coverage gaps occur between contexts
+3. Code executed in multiple contexts is properly tracked in each
+4. Loops and repeated execution don't prevent coverage in new contexts

+"""
+Comprehensive tests for import dependency tracking.
+
+These tests ensure that import-time dependencies are correctly tracked across
+different scenarios. They serve as regression tests to catch issues if the
+import tracking mechanism is refactored in the future.
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+All tests run in BOTH file-level and line-level modes (parametrized):
+- 7 test scenarios × 2 modes = 14 test runs total
+
+### What These Tests Verify
+
+1. **Direct imports**: Module A imports Module B → both tracked
+2. **Transitive imports**: A→B→C chain → all three tracked
+3. **Imports inside functions**: Lazy imports are tracked correctly
+4. **Context isolation**: Import tracking works across multiple test contexts
+5. **Internal data structures**:
+   - `_import_names_by_path` is populated correctly
+   - `_import_time_name_to_path` maps names to paths
+6. **No false positives**: Non-imported modules are not tracked
+7. **include_imported flag**: Dependencies only included when requested
+
+### Critical for Future Refactoring
+
+If you refactor the import tracking mechanism, these tests will catch:
+- ❌ Missing import dependencies
+- ❌ False positive dependencies
+- ❌ Broken transitive dependency resolution
+- ❌ Context isolation issues
+- ❌ Data structure corruption
+
+### Key Insight for File-Level Mode
+
+File-level coverage achieves import tracking via **bytecode analysis**:
+- IMPORT_NAME and IMPORT_FROM opcodes are parsed at instrumentation time
+- Import info is reported when PY_START fires (zero runtime cost!)
+- This maintains full import dependency tracking without LINE events
