+/**
+ * `hivemind skillify push`/`pull` must route to the directory's `.hivemind`
+ * workspace, exactly like session capture does — otherwise a skill saved from a
+ * routed repo lands in the GLOBAL workspace (the bug DevOps hit: "saved a local
+ * skill, it appeared in the default workspace"). skillify.ts used `loadConfig()`
+ * raw with no `.hivemind` overlay; these tests pin the fix by asserting WHICH
+ * workspace the DeeplakeApi was constructed against — that URL path is where the
+ * write lands (deeplake-api.ts: /workspaces/{workspaceId}/tables/query).
+ *
+ * resolveDirConfig runs for REAL against the process cwd; only the config
+ * boundary and the API transport are mocked.
