+## Fix flakiness in CompositeConsensusWorks
+- Removed skip from the test to re-enable it.
+- Eliminated arbitrary delays and used topology consensus to wait for cluster stability.
+- Added polling loop after spawning a member to ensure topology hash updates before asserting.
+- Confirmed reliability by running targeted test multiple times and entire test suites.

+- Added ExpectUpdatedTopologyConsensus helper to Proto.TestKit to wait for topology changes without manual polling.
+- Updated composite gossip consensus test to use new helper instead of inline loop, improving readability and reducing timing flakiness.
+- Exposed Proto.Cluster internals to Proto.TestKit for access to topology consensus check.

+## Summary
+- Simplified gossip tests by directly disposing fixtures with `await using` instead of unused `cleanup` variables
+
+## Motivation
+- Unused `cleanup` variables were redundant and flagged in review; using `await using` on the fixture itself clarifies intent and removes dead code

+# Change Log
+- Added dedicated tests for `ExpectUpdatedTopologyConsensus` to verify completion on topology changes and timeout behavior
+- Removed redundant topology hash assertion from `GossipTests.CompositeConsensusWorks` to rely solely on the helper
