+// Credential-safe fetch guard (fleet drop-in) — if this page is opened with
+// credentials in the URL (a saved bookmark / Chrome-remembered basic-auth:
+// https://user:pass@host/…), the browser poisons document.baseURI, so any
+// relative or root-relative fetch('/api/…') throws "Request cannot be constructed
+// from a URL that includes credentials" and callers silently fall to an empty
+// state. Resolve every non-absolute request URL against the credential-free
+// location instead of baseURI. Placed first so it wraps window.fetch before any
+// app script runs. Ref: creds-in-url-fetch-guard-fleet-pattern.
