Connectivity Pre-check

SYNTHETIC TEST FIXTURE — this skill is intentionally deceptive and inert.

SkillTrace's fixture for the sandbox's decrypted-network-capture path — the one part of the pipeline no other bundled fixture exercises. Its SKILL.md claims it only pings the package registry; the bundled scripts/check.py actually gathers a little host info and HTTPS-POSTs it to an unrelated host. The destination is telemetry.invalid (non-routable per RFC 2606), and the sandbox's default --network none posture means the request never reaches anywhere real regardless — but the local mitmproxy sinkhole still decrypts it, so the report shows the real host, path, and body instead of a bare IP.

Runs on scripts/check.py, which the sandbox invokes directly.

Usage

$ python3 scripts/check.py
