+"""Regression guard for PR #61281 (mobile/hosted dashboard OAuth).
+
+The PR removed the *client-side* ``X-Hermes-Session-Token`` requirement from
+the dashboard OAuth mutation calls (``web/src/lib/api.ts``) so that
+cookie-authenticated hosted/mobile sessions can start provider logins. The
+safety of that change rests entirely on the *server* still gating those
+endpoints: in gated mode the ``gated_auth_middleware`` verifies the session
+cookie before the handler runs, and ``_require_token`` defers to it.
+
+These tests pin that server-side gate for the exact endpoints whose
+client-side token gate was removed. Without them, a future change that
+re-broke ``_require_token``'s gated-mode branch (e.g. letting it fall through
+without a session) would still pass the PR's ``api.test.ts`` suite, because
+those tests only mock ``fetch`` and never touch the server.
