+ * report, the tour) used to get the page's own empty state, which said

+ * route to the module through the navigation model's own gate, so a module
+ * page and its nav entry can never disagree about which switch they follow,
+ * and renders the shared notice with the one action that can help: the
+ * Modules settings, offered only when the record's own switch is what is off.
+ *
+ * Paint, not enforcement: every route behind a module refuses on its own
+ * through the server gate. Mounted inside the shell, which renders children
+ * only after the account payload resolved, so the map is never read on a
