+// Issue #9406 — claude-web connection test treats 429 as healthy.
+//
+// Bug 1: validateClaudeWebProvider returns valid:true for 429, so
+//   rate-limited sessions display as green (healthy) in the dashboard.
+// Bug 2: errorResponseForTransport discards upstream Retry-After headers,
+//   issuing a bare 429 with no retry timing.
+//
+// This test reproduces both bugs by:
+// 1. Injecting a mock TLS fetch via __setTlsFetchOverrideForTesting that
+//    returns 429, then asserting validateClaudeWebProvider yields valid:false.
+// 2. Injecting a mock sendDirect into ClaudeWebExecutor that returns a 429
+//    ClaudeWebTransportResult with a Retry-After header, then asserting the
+//    executor's error response forwards that header.
