+Making sure the browser runs the build we deployed.
+
+A fix can be written, tested, deployed, and served, and still not be what runs.
+`Cache-Control: no-cache` requires a browser to revalidate — but it only binds
+one that asks, and a browser that cached the SPA *before* that header existed
+applies heuristic freshness instead: a fraction of the file's age, which for a
+file dated weeks ago is days. It does not ask, so it never learns.
+
+That happened here. A phone ran a player without the read-ahead bound and filled
+the browser's buffer ceiling at 106 MB — the exact symptom the bound was written
+to remove — for an hour after the bounded player went live. Two sessions were
+spent looking at the node.
+
+So the URL now carries a fingerprint of what is being served, and the whole
+module graph lives under it: `/a/<hash>/app.js` importing `./i18n.js` resolves
+to `/a/<hash>/i18n.js`. A URL that changes with the content cannot serve
+yesterday's build, and cannot serve half of each.
