- * Decision F: every routed Insights sub-page mounts this button so the
- * Coach drawer (mounted at the layout root) is always reachable. The
- * button renders as a sticky-bottom FAB on `<lg` viewports (so a phone
- * user always sees it within thumb range) and as an inline header
- * action on `lg+` (where the desktop drawer slides in from the right
- * edge and the FAB would overlap the chart legend).
+ * v1.4.28 R3c — the legacy implementation rendered BOTH a sticky FAB
+ * (visible `<lg`) and the inline pill (`lg+`) from the same component.
+ * Every sub-page that mounted `<CoachLaunchButton>` therefore painted a
+ * second FAB into the DOM, collapsing to one visible button only
+ * because of `fixed` positioning — the duplicates still landed in the
+ * a11y tree. The FAB now lives once at the layout level (see
+ * `<LayoutCoachFab>` in `src/app/insights/layout.tsx`); this component
+ * keeps only the inline `lg+` pill that sub-pages mount inside their
+ * action rows.
  *
  * The button is a thin wrapper around `useCoachLaunch()` — it only
  * renders when the context provider is mounted (so dropping the button
