+// Screenshot proof for Settings → Security → hub auth policy
+// (the T4/T5 parity panel): boots a hermetic hub WITH token auth
+// (fixture config via $CHAIN_CONFIG, secrets via env), connects
+// as the admin token, opens the settings dialog on the Security
+// category and captures the rendered policy — validator, token
+// cards with scope grants, the env-not-set rotation warning.
+//
+// Like guide_shots_test.dart this renders through a
+// RepaintBoundary, so it works headed on macOS with plain
+// `flutter test` and does not depend on the screen being
+// unlocked. Theme / locale come from the same env knobs:
+//
+//   GUIDE_SHOTS_THEME=light GUIDE_SHOTS_LOCALE=en \
+//     flutter test integration_test/auth_policy_shots_test.dart -d macos
+//
+// Output lands in build/guide-shots/ unless GUIDE_SHOTS_OUT is set.
