+/**
+ * Test suite for CreateTeamModal
+ *
+ * Testing library and framework: Jest + React Testing Library (RTL)
+ * - Aligns with existing project conventions discovered via repo scan.
+ *
+ * The tests focus on:
+ * - Validation flows (regex, uniqueness, required)
+ * - Permission- and setting-driven UI states
+ * - Side effects on submit: endpoint payload, toasts, navigation, onClose
+ * - Interactions among toggles: broadcast -> readOnly, isPrivate -> encrypted availability
+ * - Accessibility attributes where applicable
