Closes #937.

The default backend run goes from 1,061 s to 536 s locally, with the same tests passing.

1. Stub the local-Whisper /health probe by default.
LocalWhisperProvider.submit() probes /health before transcribing. Tests mocked the transcribe call but not the probe, so about 30 recording-pipeline tests each paid a failing DNS lookup (~3 s) plus the 5 s _HEALTH_TIMEOUT, then silently fell back to v1. The fixture that clears the capability cache (#352) meant every test paid it again. An autouse fixture now returns the probe's own fallback value directly. Tests that exercise the probe carry @pytest.mark.real_asr_probe and mock the HTTP themselves: two whole modules, plus individual tests in six others.

2. A network guard.
An autouse fixture wraps socket.getaddrinfo. Resolving anything other than loopback, an IP literal or the test database's host raises gaierror immediately, and the test fails at teardown naming the host, even when the code under test swallowed the error, as the probe did. The opt-out is @pytest.mark.allow_network; no test needed it. It caught one real case: test_a_hostname_that_does_not_resolve_says_so depended on live DNS and now mocks the failure. There's no new dependency, because pytest-socket guards connect(), and the lookup is where most of the time went.

3. Synthetic-session harness out of the default run.
The four test_synthetic_session_* modules are marked synthetic, and the backend CI job runs pytest -x -q -m "not synthetic". The synthetic-session job is unchanged: it passes explicit files and there's no addopts, so it still runs all 105 tests. They stay serial, per #684.

Also updated: the /qb-test recipe (backend deselects synthetic, plus a new synthetic section) and a changelog fragment.

Verified locally:

  • Default run: 5769 passed, 14 skipped, 105 deselected in 536 s.
  • -m synthetic: 105 passed in 294 s.
  • ruff 0.4.4 format and check: clean.
  • The new slowest test is 11.5 s (the wiki permissions crawl); none of the top 15 are network waits.

Closes #937. The default backend run goes from **1,061 s to 536 s** locally, with the same tests passing. **1. Stub the local-Whisper `/health` probe by default.** `LocalWhisperProvider.submit()` probes `/health` before transcribing. Tests mocked the transcribe call but not the probe, so about 30 recording-pipeline tests each paid a failing DNS lookup (~3 s) plus the 5 s `_HEALTH_TIMEOUT`, then silently fell back to v1. The fixture that clears the capability cache (#352) meant every test paid it again. An autouse fixture now returns the probe's own fallback value directly. Tests that exercise the probe carry `@pytest.mark.real_asr_probe` and mock the HTTP themselves: two whole modules, plus individual tests in six others. **2. A network guard.** An autouse fixture wraps `socket.getaddrinfo`. Resolving anything other than loopback, an IP literal or the test database's host raises `gaierror` immediately, and the test **fails at teardown naming the host**, even when the code under test swallowed the error, as the probe did. The opt-out is `@pytest.mark.allow_network`; no test needed it. It caught one real case: `test_a_hostname_that_does_not_resolve_says_so` depended on live DNS and now mocks the failure. There's no new dependency, because `pytest-socket` guards `connect()`, and the lookup is where most of the time went. **3. Synthetic-session harness out of the default run.** The four `test_synthetic_session_*` modules are marked `synthetic`, and the backend CI job runs `pytest -x -q -m "not synthetic"`. The `synthetic-session` job is unchanged: it passes explicit files and there's no `addopts`, so it still runs all 105 tests. They stay serial, per #684.
