+AIP-96 demonstration — Databricks resumable operator.
+
+A subclass of ``DatabricksSubmitRunOperator`` that survives worker
+disruption (pod eviction, OOM kill, node drain) by:
+
+  1. Persisting the Databricks ``run_id`` via AIP-103 ``task_state``
+     immediately after submit.
+  2. Converting SIGTERM into ``AirflowTaskCheckpointed`` so the worker
+     transitions to ``CHECKPOINTED`` instead of running ``on_kill``'s
+     default ``cancel_run`` path.
+  3. On the next attempt, reading the prior ``run_id`` from
+     ``task_state`` and reconnecting (skipping submit).
+
+This is the v1 integration pattern from AIP-96 v2: roughly 8 lines of
+wrapper around the existing operator's submit + poll. The pattern shows
+what a real provider integration looks like — not a synthetic example.
+
+NOTE: this file lives under ``tests/system/databricks/`` to match how
+other Databricks operator examples are organized in the repo. It is
+illustrative and stacks on top of the AIP-96 PR set (#66402, #66410,
+#66445); not for merge in this form. Once AIP-96 is accepted, the
+upstream-eligible shape would be either a new operator class shipped
+alongside ``DatabricksSubmitRunOperator`` in
+``providers/databricks/.../operators/databricks.py``, or a
+``resumable=True`` flag merged into the existing operator.

+Layer 2 e2e — framework-level test of the AIP-96 resumable pattern.
+
+Provider-agnostic. Uses an in-process simulator (no Databricks, no
+Kubernetes, no real external job) to exercise the AIP-96 + AIP-103
+primitives end-to-end:
+
+  - AirflowTaskCheckpointed from airflow.sdk.exceptions
+  - task_state.set/get/delete (AIP-103) — fake backend used here
+
+Shows that the resume contract composes correctly without per-provider
+plumbing. The same shape works for any operator that has a submit-then-poll
+external-job structure (Databricks, EMR, Spark-on-K8s, Beam, Dataproc, etc.).
+
+Co-located with the Databricks demo because the discussion lives there;
+in a real upstream PR this test would live next to the AIP-96 supervisor
+wiring code (#66445) so the framework primitives are tested without
+provider deps.
