-///         never boots in the test-owned pipeline because <c>_framework/blazor.web.js</c>
-///         returns HTTP 200 with a zero-byte body. The asset's route is declared in the Admin
-///         project's <c>OtOpcUa.Admin.staticwebassets.endpoints.json</c> manifest, but the
-///         underlying file is shipped via the framework NuGet
