Subject: [PATCH] test(security): scoped-caller forwarding preserves read-only
 proxy (#47)

Adds a regression suite asserting that the read-only Prisma proxy is
still in effect after a tool's executor forwards ctx.db into a scoped
tRPC caller (helpers.ts::createScopedCallerContext). Covers all three
attack surfaces: model writes, raw-SQL escape hatches, and interactive
$transaction / $runCommandRaw calls.

These tests pin the behaviour enforced by 1ff5c33; any future refactor
that unwraps the proxy during forwarding will fail this suite.

+/**
+ * Ticket #47 — read-only proxy must survive the scoped-caller indirection.
+ *
+ * assistant-tools.ts::executeTool swaps `ctx.db` for a read-only proxy when
+ * dispatching non-mutation tools. Tool executors then call
+ * `createScopedCallerContext(ctx)` which forwards `ctx.db` to a tRPC caller.
+ * If the proxy were not preserved through that forwarding, an LLM-invoked
+ * "read" tool could smuggle writes via the caller path.
+ *
+ * This suite asserts the proxy is not unwrapped on forwarding, and that
+ * every write-flavoured client method (model writes, raw SQL, interactive
+ * transactions, runCommandRaw) is still blocked after forwarding.
