Description

I would like some integration tests to test the interactions between the frontend and backend. These would use mocked authenticators to follow success paths and inject authenticator errors, and we should also test what happens when the session closes or either peer drops their D-Bus connection.

Research direction

The issue names no files or existing tests. Start by locating the frontend and backend D-Bus entry points and the authenticator interfaces, then run the current test suite. Done means integration coverage for successful and failing authenticator flows, session closure, and either peer dropping its D-Bus connection.
