+// /modules/:key/enable writes a row in module_enablement_overrides and reloads
+// the in-process cache, so the toggle is both immediate on this box AND durable
+// past the next deploy. It used to write config/modules.json, which the

+// The route still does not auto-commit, and that has not changed: an HTTP
+// handler pushing to main would bypass the ship/grade/deploy pipeline and the

+// deliberately, because the incident lever must not need a reachable database.
