   current, slimmer TS setup. Diagnosis ruled out external-server dependence

+- **FINAL DISPOSITION (post-modernization, owner decision 2026-07):** the
+  tests stay disabled in this repository and the harness will NOT be
+  revived here. The streamr network TS packages have changed a lot since
+  2024, and the TS interop harness (currently the
+  `native-ts-integration` submodule) will be rewritten in a separate
+  project. The disabled `add_test` blocks in
+  `packages/streamr-trackerless-network/CMakeLists.txt` and
+  `packages/streamr-libstreamrproxyclient/CMakeLists.txt` and the
+  `run-ts-*`/`run-ts-integration-tests.sh` scripts remain as reference
+  for that rewrite.
