+"""Pin the YouTube client's "don't auto-download ffmpeg during tests"
+gate.
+
+kettui (Cin) reported on 2026-05-08 that the docker image roughly
+doubled in size after a recent nightly. Codex investigation:
+
+- nightly workflow runs ``python -m pytest`` BEFORE the docker build
+- ``tests/test_tidal_auth_instructions.py`` imports ``web_server``
+- importing web_server constructs YouTubeClient via the orchestrator
+  registry boot
+- the registry probes ``is_configured()`` which delegates to
+  ``is_available()`` which used to call ``_check_ffmpeg()`` with the
+  download side-effect enabled
+- CI runner has no ffmpeg on PATH → download fired → ~388 MB of
+  ffmpeg/ffprobe binaries landed in ``./tools/``
+- ``.dockerignore`` didn't exclude them → ``COPY . .`` shipped them →
+  the immediately-following ``chown -R /app`` rewrote them into
+  another layer → image size doubled
+
+Three-layer fix:
+1. ``.dockerignore`` blocks the binaries (defense in depth)
+2. Dockerfile ``COPY --chown`` skips the duplicating chown layer
+3. THIS GATE: ``YouTubeClient._auto_download_disabled()`` returns True
+   under pytest (PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST env, ``pytest in sys.modules``)
+   or when ``SOULSYNC_NO_FFMPEG_DOWNLOAD=1`` is set
+
+These tests pin layer 3 so the regression can't come back via a
+future test importing web_server with no environment guard.
