"""
Standalone PoC runner for 3 security vulnerabilities in semantica.

Spins up the FastAPI app in-process using httpx.AsyncClient + ASGITransport,
so no external server is needed. Run with:

    pip install httpx fastapi
    python poc_runner.py

Each PoC prints the actual captured evidence (headers/status/timing/memory).
