test_value_proof.py
===================
Proof-of-value tests: *why* MoA exists.
Each test class answers one question a sceptic might ask:
TestWithoutGateAnythingExecutes — what happens with no safety layer
TestForbiddenActionsNeverPass — 100% block rate on all 3 forbidden types
TestSafeActionsNeverFalsePositive— gate never blocks legitimate work
TestHardCodedNotPrompt — injection / override attempts fail
TestUniverseSeparation — SIMULATION → FACT architecturally impossible
TestAuditTrailIsComplete — every decision (pass AND fail) is logged
TestAgentEnforcesGate — guarantee holds end-to-end through agent
TestSafetyVsNothing — side-by-side proof
All tests: zero API key, zero GPU, zero network — pure in-process logic.
