Description

There is `expectModel : (model -> Expectation) -> ProgramTest model msg effect -> Expectation`, but this necessarily "ends the test flow". This means there is no fall back way of doing something like "inspecting the model and the clicking a button".

So I think there is a missing function: `ensureModel : (model -> Expectation) -> ProgramTest model msg effect -> ProgramTest model msg effect`, analogous to the other `ensure*` functions.

This function may be particularly useful when attempting to debug a particular *test* to figure out why the test is failing.

Research direction

Read the existing expectModel and ensure* functions in the repository to understand how expectations preserve the test flow. Implement the requested ensureModel behavior so an expectation can inspect the model and later interactions can continue, then verify it with the relevant test suite.
