Description

This issue tracks testing that if we fail a particular action in a saga, we can safely unwind (performing undo actions) and leave the system in a "clean" state.

If other sagas are added without unwind safety tests, they should be added to this list.

Research direction

Review the unchecked saga entries in the tracking list and the related issues 1799 and 2094 to understand the expected unwind behavior. Add safety coverage for a selected saga, verifying that a failed action runs its undo actions and leaves the system in a clean state; mark the entry complete once the test passes.
