+/**
+ * v1.4.18 — Default overlay state on chart wrappers.
+ *
+ * Marc rejected the always-on personal-baseline reference line that B1a
+ * painted on every chart. The default surface for a new chart should be
+ * a clean line + axes + tooltip — no baseline, no target-zone shading,
+ * no trend line. Overlays are user-opt-in via the per-chart settings
+ * popover (commit "feat(charts): per-chart overlay-controls component")
+ * and persisted (commit "feat(charts): persist per-chart overlay
+ * prefs"). The default state of every toggle is OFF.
+ *
+ * The personal baseline used to render unconditionally as a
+ * `<ReferenceLine label="Your normal">`. We assert the SSR markup ships
+ * no `personalBaseline` label and no in-target reference area when the
+ * chart starts up.
