<context>
This is a triage decision ticket. It must be resolved before dependent implementation tickets can proceed.
</context>

<question>
HTTP client for integration tests: should we use reqwest (async, tokio), hyper (low-level), or ureq (synchronous/blocking)?
</question>

<options>
1. **reqwest** — most ergonomic, async, works well with tokio::test. Adds a heavier dependency but is widely used.
2. **hyper** — low-level, minimal dependencies. More verbose.
3. **ureq** — synchronous, no async runtime needed. Simple but requires spawning a background thread to run the server.
</options>

<resolution>
1. Research the options above and choose the best approach for this project.
2. Add the chosen crate to `[dev-dependencies]` in `Cargo.toml`. Update ticket 5f5ba0.
3. Mark this ticket done with a note on the chosen approach in the body or a comment.
</resolution>
