"""
Regression tests for the CUDA-vs-MLX dispatch gates Studio relies on.
Two gates drive every dispatch decision in Studio's MLX path:
1. ``unsloth._IS_MLX`` at the top of ``unsloth/__init__.py`` -- evaluated
once at import time and read by Studio worker code to choose between
the GPU and MLX trainer / inference / export paths. It delegates to
the shared zoo MLX runtime gate, with a local import barrier while the
paired unsloth-zoo runtime rollout is in flight.
2. ``utils.hardware.detect_hardware()`` -- runtime probe in the Studio
backend. Priority order: CUDA -> XPU -> MLX -> CPU. The MLX branch is
reached only when both CUDA and XPU are unavailable AND the host is
Apple Silicon AND mlx is importable.
These gates are the canaries for "MLX support accidentally hijacks
CUDA/AMD/Intel users". The tests here:
* verify the source-level structure of the ``_IS_MLX`` helper so an
accidental rewrite importing zoo before the local MLX precheck is caught,
* exercise the runtime gate logic under a spoofed Darwin+arm64 platform
with a fake ``mlx`` module in ``sys.modules`` to confirm both gates
flip True together,
* confirm that on the actual Linux+CUDA test host both gates remain in
their CUDA-side state.
No real MLX install is required; uses the same ``monkeypatch.setitem``
fake-mlx pattern as ``test_mlx_inference_backend.py``.
