// Engine-linked, so this runs through ctest rather than
// backend/cpp/run-unit-tests.sh. It builds no model and loads no file: a

// interface, so a fake session exercises the drivers directly, which is the
// only way to assert the STATE OBLIGATION (prepare, then start_stream, on every
// stream) without a GPU and a gigabyte of weights.
