+// WHY THE PANEL EXISTS. The interaction profile shipped complete except for a
+// way to set it: interaction-prefs.js stored it, GET/PATCH /me/interaction served
+// it, and the conductor hook already injected the resolved contract into every

+// budget). The panel is self-contained — it shares nothing with the rest of the
+// page but the `window.OTB` toolkit and the generated API client, both globals
+// loaded before it.

+// THE ONE SHAPE DIFFERENCE FROM WANDERING, which is the sibling to read first:
