* `Intl` output is not byte-identical across ICU versions, and Node's ICU is
* not the browser's. This exact call produces "Jan 1 <U+2009>–<U+2009> 5, 2026"
* on Node and "Jan 1 <U+0020>–<U+0020> 5, 2026" in Chrome — visually
* identical, different bytes — so every server-rendered use would throw a
* hydration error in a consumer's app through no fault of theirs.
*
* This is the case React documents the escape hatch for. The suppression is
* scoped to this one text node, so a genuine structural mismatch anywhere else
* still reports normally.

What CI checks
- Bundled, minified and gzipped against its tier budget
- Audited by axe in the state previewed above
- Rendered through react-dom/server with no browser globals
- Scanned for network calls, dangerous sinks, and unguarded animation
