+/**
+ * v1.32.1 — regression for iOS coordination issue #63: `PUT
+ * /api/settings/ntfy` reconstructed the entire stored config from the
+ * request body. `GET` never returns the write-only `authToken` (only
+ * `hasAuthToken: true/false`), so both native and web clients correctly
+ * OMIT — or round-trip an empty string through — the field on any
+ * unrelated edit. Rebuilding `config` without a preserve fallback
+ * silently dropped a working token on the next save.
+ *
+ * The fix mirrors the pre-existing `headerValue` preserve-on-empty
+ * contract in `src/app/api/settings/webhook/route.ts` (asserted here too,
+ * as a parity pin — that route was never broken, but any future drift
+ * between the two should fail the same suite). Covers exactly the four
+ * cases the report asks for.
