+ * Every one of these issues a browser request that carries no record-session
+ * assertion, and none of them is matched here. They are written down rather
+ * than matched because each is either absent from the tree today or costs more
+ * to detect than it currently buys — but a future offender in any of these
+ * shapes SLIPS this guard, and that is the thing to know before trusting a
+ * green run:
+ *
+ *   * `srcSet` on an `<img>` / `<source>`, and `poster` on a `<video>`;
+ *   * `<object data=…>` and `<embed src=…>`;
+ *   * `<form action="/api/…">`, which navigates on submit;
+ *   * `window.open("/api/…")`;
+ *   * `navigator.sendBeacon("/api/…")`, which is fire-and-forget and cannot
+ *     carry a custom header at all;
+ *   * a CSS `url("/api/…")` in a style attribute, a styled component, or a
+ *     stylesheet;
+ *   * props SPREAD onto an element (`<img {...props} />`) where the path
+ *     arrives from a caller;
+ *   * anything outside `src/components` and `src/app` — those are the only two
+ *     trees walked.
+ *
+ * The `element.src = "/api/…"` ASSIGNMENT form IS matched, because it is cheap
+ * and the tree already contains one (`umami-script.tsx`, an unfenced route, so
+ * no offender today — but it is proof the shape occurs here).
