-- **chore(tests):** cleared two base-reds sitting on `release/v3.8.50` itself, both of which turned every open PR red the moment it merged the release. `tests/snapshots/provider/translate-path.json` was stale: #9064 added the `code-execution-2025-08-25` and `skills-2025-10-02` beta flags to the Anthropic header without regenerating the golden, so `provider-translate-path-golden` failed on the bare release tip (2 pass / 1 fail with zero PRs boarded). And `tests/unit/v1-models-auth-leak-9320.test.ts:83` shipped a `(k: any)` in a file new enough that `config/quality/eslint-suppressions.json` does not cover it — with `@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any` set to `error` under `tests/`, that single cast failed the `No new ESLint warnings` gate repo-wide. Regenerating the snapshot and dropping the redundant cast (the callback parameter infers correctly) restores both gates.

Same class in `tests/unit/issue-9407-gemini-web-validation-false-positive.test.ts:50` (`(executor as any).testConnection`), which entered at `f1ea77fd04` — `testConnection` is a declared public method on `GeminiWebExecutor`, so that cast was redundant too. Regenerating the snapshot and dropping both casts restores the gates.
