User Journey: "I want to return a product"
  ✅ Single turn: "What is the return policy?" → correct answer
  ✅ Multi-turn: Returns conversation flow (3 turns)
  ✅ Edge case: "return" with no product mentioned → asks for details
  ✅ Fallback: Order not found → escalates to human
  ❌ Edge case: User angry about return → tone test missing
  ❌ Multi-turn: Long return process (8+ turns) → not tested

User Journey: "I need technical support"
  ✅ Single turn: Basic tech support questions
  ❌ Multi-turn: Escalation to human agent → not tested
  ❌ Edge case: Technical jargon → not tested
