I left some individual comments about logging in there, but thinking about it holistically, I think we want:

• Log when this threshold is hit
• Log when a batch is large in bytes (regardless of the main change here)
• Be harmonious with existing "GroupLargeBatch" event (PS - Think about hosts that doesn't enable Grouped Batching)
• Do we also want telemetry about large blobAttach batches? (regardless of the main change here)

@anthony-murphy Claude and I chatted about test cases (and I mentioned the ones you included in the PR description). Here's the test plan that came out of it, worth browsing, there are some important corner cases here:

stagingModeAutoFlushThreshold — Test Plan

Already covered

To add

1. Direct-flush codepaths break the batch during staging mode

These tests demonstrate that every codepath calling flush() directly still breaks
the accumulated batch, regardless of threshold. Each should verify: outbox is drained,
ops move to PSM as a staged batch, and no ops are sent to the wire.

1a. Incoming runtime op breaks batch

Already covered by existing test ("incoming ops break the batch regardless of
threshold"). Listed here for completeness.

1b. Incoming non-runtime op breaks batch

Same as 1a but with a non-runtime (signal/system) op arriving. The process() path
calls flush() unconditionally (line 3066) unless skipSafetyFlushDuringProcessStack
is set. Verify a non-runtime inbound message also drains the outbox mid-accumulation.

1c. Connection state change (reconnect) breaks batch

1. Enter staging mode, submit ops (under threshold, sitting in outbox)
2. Simulate disconnect then reconnect (canSendOps transitions true → false → true)
3. The reconnect flush (line 2962) should drain the outbox before replayPendingStates
4. Verify the accumulated ops became a staged batch in PSM
5. Verify pre-staged ops are resubmitted correctly after reconnect

1d. enterStagingMode flushes any pending outbox contents

This covers the edge case where ops were submitted in the same JS turn before
enterStagingMode() is called (so a flush was scheduled but hasn't fired yet).

1. Submit ops (not yet flushed — still in outbox)
2. Call enterStagingMode() in the same turn
3. Verify those ops were flushed as a non-staged batch (they predate staging mode)
4. Submit more ops while in staging mode
5. commitChanges() — verify only the post-entry ops are staged

2. Exit via discardChanges flushes outbox before rollback

Same shape as the existing commitChanges exit test but using discardChanges.
Verify outbox is drained and rolled-back ops match what was submitted.

3. IdAllocation + reconnect while in staging mode (b4e1fd1 interaction)

This is the highest-risk gap.

The fix in b4e1fd1 added scheduleFlush() after submitIdAllocationOpIfNeeded
during replayPendingStates to ensure the IdAllocation op is flushed before new ops
with different refSeqs arrive. With threshold suppression, that scheduleFlush() will
now return early if in staging mode and under threshold — potentially re-introducing
the original bug.

Test scenario:

1. Enter staging mode
2. Disconnect, generate a compressed ID (queued in idAllocationBatch)
3. Reconnect — replayPendingStates submits IdAllocation op + calls scheduleFlush()
4. Simulate remote op arriving (bumps refSeq)
5. Generate 2nd compressed ID + submit a data store op
6. Verify no outboxSequenceNumberCoherencyCheck error

If this test fails, the fix is to exempt the scheduleFlush() call in
replayPendingStates from threshold suppression (e.g., pass a force flag, or
call flush() directly instead of scheduleFlush()).

4. Reconnect resubmits pre-staged batches while threshold is active

Verify that ops submitted before entering staging mode are correctly resubmitted
on reconnect, and that the threshold does not interfere with their resubmission
(since resubmitted pre-staging batches go through replayPendingStates, not
scheduleFlush()).

5. Config override > runtime option > default

Single test: create runtime with both a config override and a runtime option set to
different values. Verify the config override wins. Then verify runtime option wins
over default when no config override is present.
