// Real coverage needs a `Coordinator` fixture (broker + sqlite +
// in-memory questions). Skipped for now — the normalisation branches
// in `handle_ask` are short enough to read line-by-line; once we add
// a coord test harness, drop integration tests here for: self-target
// rejection, operator-string passthrough, agent-to-agent QuestionAsked
// emission, and `Answer` authorisation.
