+"""Pytest conftest for test_qnn_delegate.py.
+
+When test_qnn_delegate.py is invoked via pytest (instead of as __main__),
+setup_environment() is never called, so TestQNN class attributes remain at
+their defaults (None / empty string / False). This conftest bridges the gap
+by calling setup_environment() with a synthetic argv built from environment
+variables, keeping a single source of truth for attribute assignment.
+
+Required env vars for x86 simulator execution:
+    QNN_SOC_MODEL       - e.g. "SM8650"
+    QNN_SDK_ROOT        - path to QNN SDK (also used by verify_output)
+
+Optional env vars (with defaults shown):
+    QNN_BACKEND         - "htp"
+    QNN_BUILD_FOLDER    - "build-x86"
+    QNN_ENABLE_X86_64   - "1" to enable x86 simulator mode
+    EXECUTORCH_ROOT     - cwd
+    QNN_ARTIFACT_DIR    - "/tmp/qnn_test_artifacts"
