# Pure checks for AI Provider Boundary

## Verification Boundary

The suite checks deterministic module behavior and declared configuration using local inputs.

## What This Suite Proves

Only the permitted adapter crosses the provider boundary. Combined bindings require every named suite; a component assertion alone does not establish the full experiment.

## What It Does Not Prove

These checks do not establish database transactions, deployed permissions, provider availability or a complete user journey.

## Real Dependencies and Test Doubles

The guard reads the real tracked file list and source files in the Platform repository. Refusal samples use literal paths and text rather than extra files.

## Must Not Be Doubled

Retain the function, configuration or boundary guard under test and its assertions; replacing them removes the evidence.
