+"""Regression test for #1705: writer-trio nodata / streaming_buffer_bytes annotations.
+
+Follow-up to #1654. The api-consistency sweep on 2026-05-12 found two
+remaining annotation gaps across the public writer trio (``to_geotiff``,
+``write_geotiff_gpu``, ``write_vrt``):
+
+* ``nodata`` -- annotated as ``float | int | None`` on ``write_vrt``
+  (added by #1684) but bare ``=None`` on ``to_geotiff`` and
+  ``write_geotiff_gpu``. The three docstrings all describe the same
+  accepted-type set ("float, int, or None"), so the annotation should
+  match across siblings.
+
+* ``streaming_buffer_bytes`` -- ``int`` (default 256 MB) on
+  ``to_geotiff`` versus ``int | None`` (default None) on
+  ``write_geotiff_gpu``. The GPU writer no-ops this kwarg
+  (``del streaming_buffer_bytes`` in the body) so the type signature
+  was the only consistency dimension; pin both to ``int`` so callers
+  passing the same kwargs to either entry point see the same hint.
+
+This module pins both annotations against future drift.
