+"""Regression tests for the ``agentid`` CLI commands in cli_identity.py.
+
+The ``agentid`` subcommands (verify / info / resolve / verify-token /
+challenge / token / auth / claim) use ``Progress``, ``SpinnerColumn`` and
+``TextColumn`` from ``rich.progress`` inside a ``with Progress(...)`` block.
+Those names were never imported in ``cli_identity.py``, so every one of those
+commands crashed with ``NameError: name 'Progress' is not defined`` the moment
+it reached the progress block — before any network call.
+
+These tests stub out the network layer so no real request is made and assert
+that the command does not raise a ``NameError``.
