-1. Fast unit test (always runs on "go test"):
+STRICT RULES — NEVER VIOLATE THESE:
+- NO monkey-patching: never assign to runtime.GOOS, exec.Command, os.Stdout, os.Exit, or ANY package-level func/var
+- NO global variable reassignment
+- NO reflect tricks for mocking
+- Use ONLY real function calls + table-driven tests
+- For os.Exit or stdout testing, use simple smoke tests or pipes (no reassignment)
+- Prefer simple happy-path + error-path tests
+

    func TestXXX_Unit(t *testing.T) {
        t.Parallel()
        t.Log("✓ Fast XXX unit test")
