+"""Architecture guard: the proxy never imports ``claude_agent_sdk``.
+
+Phase 2 boundary (LIT-2879): the agent runtime runs ON the per-Session
+VM (in ``litellm/managed_agents/daemon/runtime/``), not inside the
+proxy process. Any import of ``claude_agent_sdk`` from
+``litellm/proxy/`` would mean someone reintroduced the in-proxy runtime
+shape that Phase 1 had to roll back.
+
+This test scans every ``.py`` file under ``litellm/proxy/`` and fails if
+``claude_agent_sdk`` appears in an ``import`` or ``from ... import``
+statement.
+
+If this test fails:
+
+* Move the import into ``litellm/managed_agents/daemon/runtime/`` —
+  that is the only place ``claude_agent_sdk`` is allowed to live.
+* The proxy talks to the daemon over the
+  ``/v1/internal/sessions/{sid}/...`` control-plane endpoints; it
+  never instantiates the SDK directly.
