+/**
+ * STALE-DEPLOY SELF-HEAL
+ *
+ * Deploys replace hashed chunk filenames and delete the old ones. A tab that
+ * was already open still holds the previous manifest, so navigating to a lazy
+ * route loads a chunk that no longer exists (404) and the error boundary shows
+ * "THIS PAGE SLAMMED". Vite emits `vite:preloadError` for exactly this case.
+ *
+ * Reload once to pick up the new assets. The timestamp guard prevents a reload
+ * loop if a build is genuinely broken (the error boundary will show instead).
