+// Auth: the top-level vi.mock for @hono/oidc-auth sets getAuth → null.
+// The dev-bypass (DEV_AUTH_BYPASS env) is NOT active in the test environment,
+// so the routes fall through to getAuth(c) which returns null → 401.
+//
+// HOWEVER: for write routes in test, we need an authenticated user. The test
+// environment sets DEV_AUTH_BYPASS=true via the vitest.config or the route's
+// dev-bypass reads c.get('user'). But since DEV_AUTH_BYPASS env is not set in
+// the test runner, c.get('user') will be undefined and getAuth(c) returns null.
+//
+// Resolution: the write route implementation falls back gracefully — when both
+// devUser and getAuth return null/undefined, it returns 401. But the write tests
+// do NOT check for 401; they expect 202/400/403. Therefore:
