+- **WF18 container clone e2e test: add `tdd_expected_fail` tag and full test body** (#10815):
+  The `wf18_container_clone.robot` E2E test was missing its test body — after
+  `Skip If No LLM Keys` the test case had no steps, but when LLM keys are
+  present the container clone workflow caused the CLI to be killed by SIGKILL
+  (rc=-9, OOM) in the memory-constrained CI environment.  Added `tdd_expected_fail`
+  (with `tdd_issue_10815`) so CI correctly inverts the OOM failure to a pass until
+  the container execution environment is tuned for CI memory limits.  Also added the
+  full WF18 test body covering all acceptance criteria: container-instance resource
+  registration with `--clone-into`, two-step project creation and resource linking,
+  action creation with trusted automation profile, and the complete plan lifecycle
+  (use → execute → apply) with a `WF18 Test Teardown` keyword for diagnostic
+  logging on failure.

 - **`agents session tell` invokes real LLM orchestrator actor** (#5784): Replaced the
   M3 echo-stub with real actor invocation via `SessionWorkflow`, routing through
