<context>
Integration tests live in `tests/` and exercise the API binary against a temporary SQLite database. They run with `cargo test` and must not require a running Cloudflare environment. The test harness spawns the API server on a random port and returns the base URL.
</context>

<goal>
Write the `PUT /api/quotes` test suite in `tests/test_create_quote.rs` (or similar). Test cases:
1. Create with auto-generated auth_code — verify 201, quote object returned, auth_code present in response
2. Create with custom auth_code in body — verify the provided code is stored and returned
3. Missing `text` field — verify 422 Unprocessable Entity
4. Missing `author` field — verify 422 Unprocessable Entity
5. Create with tags — verify tags appear in the returned quote
</goal>

<constraints>
- Use the shared test harness from ticket 9b581f.
- Auth code in the response must match the pattern `word-word-word-word`.
- Verify the created quote is retrievable via `GET /api/quotes/:id` after creation.
</constraints>

<skills>
Use `superpowers:verification-before-completion` before closing.
</skills>

<validation>
Run in order from the `quotesdb/` directory:

```sh
cargo fmt
cargo check
cargo clippy
cargo test
```
</validation>
