The test-network blocker's arming check is compiled to false and its installer has no caller.

What

The module that stops test runs from reaching the network is present in full but does nothing in this build: the check that arms it is compiled to a constant false, so the request-layer hooks return immediately, and the interceptor installer has no caller anywhere in the bundle.

Details
  • Blocked requests would report "Blocked under test: ... test runtimes must not reach the network", with the remedy of setting CLAUDE_CODE_TEST_ALLOW_REAL_NETWORK=1 for an intentional live probe.
  • Includes a dedicated error type carrying the code TestEgressBlocked, redirect-following checks, and a loopback exemption that applies regardless.
  • Related change that is live: test fixture helpers now report a shared "Fixture missing" message rather than checking CI and record-mode variables themselves.
Evidence

test runtimes must not reach the network.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
