 The pure-logic tests (SLA math, webhook helpers) never touch the DB. The
 routing-inertness test uses the in-memory SQLite engine only.
+
+Why these are ASSIGNED and not `setdefault`
+-------------------------------------------
+`os.environ.setdefault` is a no-op when the key is already present, so running
+pytest from a shell that exports the deployment's variables — or under anything
+that loads `.env` before pytest starts — silently handed the suite the REAL
+configuration. Two consequences, both observed:
+
+  * `MULTI_TENANT_ENABLED=true` engages Host→tenant resolution. The test client
+    sends Host `localhost`, `resolve_tenant()` returns None, and
+    `app/tenancy/middleware.py::_tenant_resolver` returns the "workspace not
+    found" page with status 404 for EVERY request, before any view runs. The
+    whole suite fails with `assert 404 == <expected>`.
+  * `DATABASE_URL` pointing at MySQL would make the `db.drop_all()` in each
+    module's `client` fixture run against a real database.
+
+The values below are therefore forced. Anything a developer needs to vary they
+can vary in the fixture, not through ambient environment. `load_dotenv()` in
+config.py runs later with `override=False`, so these win.
