//! Regression test for api S-17: tracing-span attribute sanitisation.
//!
//! The `trace_layer_with_propagation` middleware in
//! `tensor-wasm-api::middleware` opens an `http.request` span for every
//! inbound HTTP request and records two attacker-controlled inputs on
//! it: the request URI and the `traceparent` header. Both were
//! historically captured verbatim, which gave a hostile client two
//! cheap exfiltration / log-injection channels:
//!
//! 1. **Query-string leak.** `uri = %req.uri()` recorded the *full*
//!    URI including the query string. A request like
//!    `GET /healthz?secret=ATTACKER_SECRET` would plant the secret in
//!    every log line tagged with that span — and `/healthz` is the
//!    one route a third-party load balancer is most likely to hit
//!    with arbitrary query parameters during probing. The fix records
//!    only `path = %req.uri().path()` (no query string ever).
//! 2. **traceparent injection / unbounded growth.** `traceparent`
//!    was recorded raw. A 64 KiB header value would land in every
//!    span attribute; a `\r\n`-containing value would forge a fake
//!    log line in JSON sinks that escape per-line rather than
//!    per-field. The fix sanitises via `sanitise_traceparent`: clamp
//!    to 64 bytes, strip non-printable, collapse CR/LF/NUL to
//!    `<invalid>`.
//!
//! This test drives a real router with a real tracing subscriber
//! installed and asserts that NO recorded span attribute contains
//! the planted secrets or unbounded header content. It is the
//! integration-level proof that the middleware sanitisation actually
//! takes effect end-to-end (the unit tests in `middleware.rs` cover
//! the helper in isolation).
