Description

Problem: write_models(..., output_root=...) resolves settings=None, so dry_run=True is silently ignored and data is written.

Fix: honor dry_run; add the missing test.

Research direction

Find the write_models implementation and trace how output_root resolves settings. Add a regression test for output_root with dry_run=True, verifying that no data is written; the issue is complete when the test passes and dry-run behavior is preserved.
