The config is a JavaScript template literal, and the comment added with the /crops/ rename quoted the
paths in backticks. They closed the string, `crops` became a bare identifier, and the plugin failed to
build: "crops is not defined".
What that looked like from the outside is the part worth recording. The plugin did not mount, so every
/fofos-admin call 404'd, so useReady's catch — which deliberately reports "cannot tell" as not-ready —
locked all nine sections behind "Set a root location below to begin." A build error wearing the
costume of a setup problem, and the honest suspicion was that the gate had gone wrong rather than the
thing behind it.
The gate is right. It is one line of a log away from being diagnosable, and the log said so.
