+These tests invoke real binaries and subprocesses (for example the installed
+`litellm-proxy` console script) rather than mocks. They live here, outside
+`tests/test_litellm/`, because that tree is reserved for mock-only unit tests
+that must run deterministically in CI without external binaries.
+
+## Running
+
+They are skipped by default. Opt in with an environment variable:
+
+```bash
+LITELLM_RUN_INTEGRATION_TESTS=1 pytest tests/proxy_cli_integration_tests/
+```
+
+You also need the package installed so the console scripts exist on PATH:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e '.[proxy]'
+```
+
+Individual tests additionally `pytest.skip` themselves when a required binary
+(such as `litellm-proxy`) is not present in the active environment, so a partial
+install degrades to a skip rather than a failure.
+
+## Markers
+
+Tests here are tagged with the `integration` marker (registered in
+`pyproject.toml`). To run only integration-marked tests:
+
+```bash
+LITELLM_RUN_INTEGRATION_TESTS=1 pytest -m integration
