  * v1.10.3 — "Today's signal" headline card.
  *
- * Promotes the COINCIDENT_DEVIATION flag from one buried below-the-fold vitals
- * tile (painted only when it fired) to a dedicated, always-mounted card at the
- * top of the Insights overview, matching the always-present pattern Apple
- * Vitals / WHOOP Health Monitor / Oura Symptom Radar use. The signal is the
- * daily headline read, not an alarm: an "all clear" day is itself the
- * reassuring product.
+ * Surfaces the COINCIDENT_DEVIATION flag at the top of the Insights overview as
+ * a calm awareness read drawn off the SINGLE existing `Derived` payload — no new
+ * engine math, no new route, no schema change.
  *
- * It renders four calm states off the SINGLE existing `Derived` payload — no
- * new engine math, no new route, no schema change:
- *   - insufficient (< 2 banded vitals) → "building your baselines" + coverage.
- *   - all-clear (ok, !fired, 0 contributing) → a green check + the count
- *     checked.
- *   - watch (ok, !fired, 1 contributing) → a calm, non-alert line naming the
- *     one vital.
- *   - fired (ok, fired, ≥ 2 contributing) → an amber awareness card naming the
- *     vitals + the load-bearing "possible factors — never a cause" line.
+ * The card renders ONLY when there is an actual signal to show. A day where
+ * every vital sits inside its personal range (all-clear), or an account still
+ * building its baselines (insufficient), produces no card at all — the section
+ * stays absent rather than surfacing an empty header. The two states that DO
+ * render:
+ *   - watch (ok, 1 contributing vital, or a thin-history multi-signal flag) →
+ *     a calm, non-alert line naming the vital.
+ *   - fired (ok, fired, ≥ 2 contributing, with enough history) → an amber
+ *     awareness card naming the vitals + the load-bearing "possible factors —
+ *     never a cause" line.
  *
  * Restraint guarantees: at most the `warning` (amber) band — never
  * `destructive`/red, never a score, never a chart (so no Recharts), never a
