+"""Standalone regression test for cron runtime request_overrides forwarding.
+
+Split out of tests/cron/test_scheduler.py as an independent, upgrade-safe file
+(registered in the local-patch ledger's allowed_untracked list) so the local
+request_overrides forwarding hotfix no longer collides with upstream inserting
+new tests around its anchor in the large test_scheduler.py module.
+
+The functional change under test lives in cron/scheduler.py (run_job forwards
+runtime['request_overrides'] into the ephemeral AIAgent); that hunk stays in the
+source patch. Only this test moved here.
