test(ci): restore backend unit and legacy ratchet checks

[aryanorastar]

Summary

• restore collection of the two hermetic utils.app_integrations test harnesses after the temporal grounding import added in fix(desktop/llm): cache-efficient datetime injector; stop 2026-is-wrong Insight/Focus cards #12236
• keep the legacy-memory surface ratchet focused on runtime references instead of counting a documentation-only macOS parity comment
• unblock the backend unit, repository hygiene, and PR metadata checks currently failing on main and downstream PRs such as feat(backend): split X connector sync into its own Cloud Run Job (#9298) #11183

Root cause

utils.app_integrations now imports current_date_for_uid from utils.llm.temporal. The two isolated harnesses replace utils.llm with an in-memory module but did not register that new child module, so pytest stopped during collection with:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'utils.llm.temporal'; 'utils.llm' is not a package

The same upstream change also added InsightAssistant to a Windows source comment. The Gate F inventory intentionally scans that token family, so the comment alone moved the counter from 4 to 5 even though no legacy assistant surface was added.

Changes

• register a deterministic utils.llm.temporal stub in both app-integration harnesses
• return a fixed date from current_date_for_uid so the tests remain hermetic and never load the production timezone/database path
• describe the macOS parity source without repeating the ratcheted legacy class name

There is no production behavior change.

Reviewed current head 6ff2a78382; I did not find a blocking issue.

The two harnesses replace utils.llm with an in-memory module, so registering utils.llm.temporal before importing utils.app_integrations is the necessary isolation repair. The fixed YYYY-MM-DD return value matches current_date_for_uid's production contract and avoids pulling the lazy timezone/database path into these tests. The Windows diff is comment-only and removes a false legacy-surface inventory hit without changing the prompt string or runtime behavior.

Independent verification on Windows:

• both changed backend test files: 25 passed
• legacy_memory_surface_inventory.py --check-ratchet --base-ref origin/main: PASS (892 findings / 82 path counters)
• check_module_stub_pollution.py: 0 violations across 1038 test files
• git diff --check origin/main...HEAD: clean

Leaving this as a contributor comment rather than maintainer approval, but the change is merge-shaped from this pass.
