"""Offline HTTP and model-input regressions; no credentials or real model.
From backend/: python -m pytest tests/test_external_system_message_boundary.py -q
Use the same file on an isolated unfixed checkout (copy it there if absent): the
model-boundary cases fail with checkpoint_system=True and
exact_model_system_merge=True. On the fixed checkout they pass. Never restore
vulnerable production code or change authentication to run this test.
