-// TestPublicSettingsInjectionPayload_SchemaDoesNotDrift guarantees the SSR
-// injection struct exposes every JSON field consumed by the frontend.
-//
-// Why this test exists: before we extracted a named PublicSettingsInjectionPayload
-// type, the inline struct was manually kept in sync with dto.PublicSettings and
-// drifted — ChannelMonitorEnabled / AvailableChannelsEnabled were missing, which
-// made the frontend read `undefined` on refresh and hide the "可用渠道" menu
-// until the async /api/v1/settings/public round-trip finished.
-//
-// This test compares the two JSON-tag sets and fails if injection is missing
-// any field that dto.PublicSettings exposes. Adding a new feature flag with
-// only a DTO entry will fail this test until the injection struct is updated.
-//
-// Intentional exclusions (fields present on dto.PublicSettings that SSR does
-// not need to inject) are listed in `dtoOnlyFields` below with a reason.
