Research direction

Start by inspecting the batcher implementation and its specs to determine how queued work is currently flushed; the issue provides no file or test path. Done means specs can drain queued batches without shutting down the batcher, with integration behavior covered by tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It'd be nice to drain the batcher in specs without shutting it down so that we don't have to resort to things like this on specs in case we want to do some integration testing 💭

Maybe it is possible but I don't know how to do it so please LMK in case there is
