+"""Regression test for issue #2288: `_handle_get_state` arity bug.
+
+Before this fix, `_handle_get_state` called `_signed_content` with only 3
+positional args (`msg_type`, `sender_id`, `payload`) while the Phase B
+signature shape requires 5 (`msg_type`, `sender_id`, `msg_id`, `ttl`,
+`payload`). Any peer issuing a `GET_STATE` gossip message hit a TypeError
+on the responder and the response was dropped.
+
+This test exercises the full STATE request -> response -> verify round-trip
+against live `GossipLayer` instances (per the bounty's acceptance
+criterion #3) and asserts that:
+
+  1. `_handle_get_state` no longer raises.
+  2. The returned dict carries `msg_id` and `ttl` so the requester can
+     reconstruct the signed content.
+  3. `verify_message` accepts the reconstructed `GossipMessage` — i.e. the
+     signature covers exactly the bytes the requester rebuilds.
+
+Mirrors the loader pattern used by `test_p2p_hardening_phase2.py` and
+`test_p2p_phase_f_ed25519.py` so it slots into the existing P2P test
+suite without any new infrastructure.
