+- **fix(tests):** add `dist/httpClientAbortGuard.mjs` to the expected missing-paths list in `tests/unit/pack-artifact-policy.test.ts` — [#13636](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/13636) registered the file in `PACK_ARTIFACT_REQUIRED_PATHS` without updating the assertion, leaving the test red on the release tip for every PR that runs it ([#12732](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/12732))
