Assert the complete Privacy Mode message.

toMatch(/Privacy Mode/) allows any message containing those words. It does not protect the required user-facing contract. Assert the exact message and keep the checks that exclude the marker and upstream error text.

As per path instructions, backend behavior changes require focused tests, and user-facing messages are behavior that must be preserved.

Review the replacement and indentation, then test before committing.

Review comment at @apps/server/src/provider/GrokProvider.test.ts at line 751:
In the privacy-mode limits test, replace the partial Privacy Mode match in the
`limits.unavailable?.message` assertion with an exact comparison against the
expected user-facing message. Keep the existing checks that exclude the marker
and upstream error text.
