+  # Scenarios 9–10: mixed advanced-ratelimit (global) + basic-ratelimit (operation)
+  # This is the realistic production case: a provider-wide cap enforced by
+  # advanced-ratelimit (apiname key) combined with a tighter per-path cap
+  # enforced by basic-ratelimit. The operation policy fires first; but because
+  # global policies run before operation policies in the chain, the shared global
+  # counter is still incremented even for requests that the operation policy
+  # ultimately rejects — so /embeddings eventually hits the global cap even
+  # though it has no operation policy of its own.
