+/**
+ * F9 — Batch helpers coverage gate (top-level, picked up by c8 test:coverage).
+ *
+ * Re-exercises the four new pure helpers in src/lib/batches/ with additional
+ * cases targeting uncovered branches found in local coverage analysis:
+ *
+ *  costEstimator.ts : alias-match (case-insensitive) path in getPrice()
+ *  csvToJsonl.ts    : blank-row skip branch; body.input/body.prompt paths
+ *  validateJsonl.ts : non-object JSON line; invalid params field; body not object
+ *  retryFailed.ts   : whitespace-only inputJsonl; all three skipped categories
+ *
+ * The file at tests/unit/lib/batches/ runs via node --test directly;
+ * this file runs via the c8 coverage gate (tests/unit/*.test.ts glob) so that
+ * src/lib/batches/** is counted in the global coverage report.
+ *
+ * D14 compliance: all helpers are pure — no fetch, no DB, no sanitization needed.

+/**
+ * F9 — Sanitization assertion tests for all batch components that perform fetch().
+ *
+ * D14 requirement: EVERY component that does a fetch() and shows an error to the
+ * user MUST NOT leak raw err.stack, err.message, file paths, or stack frames.
+ *
+ * Components under test:
+ *  - NewBatchWizard (file upload 500 + batch create 500 + network throw)
+ *  - UploadFileModal (upload 500 + network throw)
+ *  - useBatchActions  (cancel 500 + retry 500 + network throw)
+ *
+ * Each test simulates an error condition that would expose a stack trace
+ * if the component violated Hard Rule #12, then asserts the displayed error
+ * is an i18n key or short user message — never a raw path/trace.
+ *
+ * STACK_PATTERNS: compiled regex set for reuse across all assertions.
