+// Provider wiring lock for the Observer config feature (#64 P1).
+//
+// main.dart provides the singleton MeshCoreConnector by value and creates
+// ObserverConfigService with THAT SAME connector (main.dart:38 -> field -> the
+// two providers). This pins the contract the feature depends on: the service is
+// reachable through Provider AND shares the live connector, so the Observer
+// settings gate (`supported`) reacts to device-info caps. A fresh-connector
+// rewire (create: (_) => ObserverConfigService(MeshCoreConnector())) breaks it.
