  * v1.4.18 — TanStack Query hook that returns a single chart's overlay
  * prefs and a setter that persists them via the new
  * `PUT /api/dashboard/chart-overlay-prefs` endpoint.
  *
- * Reads from the existing dashboard-widgets cache (queryKey
- * `["dashboard-layout"]`) so a chart on the dashboard doesn't fire a
- * second network request — the layout already lands once on initial
- * dashboard render.

+ *
+ * v1.4.29 C4 — share the same `queryKeys.dashboardWidgets()` slot
+ * the dashboard page + Settings → Dashboard already consume.
+ * Pre-fix the hook keyed under `["dashboard-layout"]`, splitting the
+ * cache into two slots for the same endpoint and firing
+ * `/api/dashboard/widgets` twice on dashboard mount.
  *
  * The mutation is optimistic: we update the cached layout immediately
  * so the chart re-renders with the new toggle state before the network
