-/**
- * @deprecated since v1.4.25 — the `/insights` page no longer mounts the
- *   `<InsightStatusCard>` that drove this endpoint; the polished
- *   `<InsightAdvisorCard>` block above the per-metric sections covers
- *   the same surface with severity-ordered recommendations + rationale.
- *
- *   The route + underlying `generateGeneralStatusForUser` lib remain
- *   live because the reminder worker (`src/lib/jobs/reminder-worker.ts`)
- *   still pre-warms the daily general-status cache for users opted in to
- *   the briefing notification. Removing the route would break the
- *   warm-cache job's HTTP-style coverage tests; removing the lib would
- *   break the worker. Both stay; this comment is for new callers.
- *
- *   New surfaces should consume `<InsightAdvisorCard>` via
- *   `useInsightsAdvisorQuery()` (`@/components/insights/use-insights-advisor`)
- *   instead of fetching this endpoint directly.
