+"""Regression test for the `analyze` CLI command.
+
+Bug: cli.py read `chi_square_indicator` from under each channel's `lsb_ratio`
+dict, but steg_core.analyze_image() puts it directly on the channel dict
+(only `zeros`/`ones` are nested under `lsb_ratio`). Every `analyze` run
+crashed with KeyError: 'chi_square_indicator'.
+
+This exercises the real CLI path (not just analyze_image(), which was never
+broken) via Typer's CliRunner, on both a clean carrier and a stego-carrying
+image. Run directly:  python test_analyze_cli.py
