  * hydration would suspend and React would fall back to a client render.
+ *
+ * # Strict Mode is a generated constant, not a runtime check
+ *
+ * `strictMode` is written into this module as a literal, so a production build
+ * gets `hydrate({ … })` with the argument absent and Rollup has nothing to
+ * decide. It would have been shorter to have `hydrate` read `import.meta.hot`
+ * — the way `client.js` gates the hydration reporter — and that would have been
+ * one signal answering two questions: `uf.config.js` can turn Strict Mode off
+ * (ubugeeei-prod/uf#516) and `import.meta.hot` cannot be told about it. A
+ * project that sets `app.react.strictMode: false` gets a dev server that
+ * hydrates the way its deployment does, which is the whole of the escape
+ * hatch.
+ *
+ * # Navigation is a generated constant for a different reason
+ *
+ * `app.rendering.navigation` decides whether the client router takes a link
+ * over, and it is written in here for the reason Strict Mode is not: it must
+ * be the *same* in development and in the build. A `uf dev` whose links
+ * resolve in the page and a deployment whose links fetch a document are two
+ * applications, and the one a person is looking at is the one that is not
+ * deployed. So this is generated from the config with no `isProduction` beside
+ * it, and `uf dev`, `uf build` and `uf preview` all get what the project asked
