+/* ── Embedded-webview <select> popup shim ──
+   The desktop client embeds this console in a composited webview that cannot
+   display the OS-drawn native <select> popup, so every dropdown here is dead
+   (clicking does nothing). This installs ONE delegated interceptor on document
+   that, only when the console is embedded (body.embedded, set by bootSSO from
+   ?embedded=1 / #embed=1 — the same isEmbedded() signal the rest of the file
+   uses), replaces the broken native popup with a DOM overlay listing the same
+   <option>s. The real <select> stays in the DOM (its closed state paints fine
+   and holds the value); we only replace the popup. Choosing an option sets the
+   option as selected and fires a real bubbling change event, so every existing
+   onchange= handler and .value read keeps working with zero per-select changes.
+   Delegation means dynamically-added selects (camera editor, notifications,
+   wizard) are covered for free. In a normal browser isEmbedded() is false and
+   this whole shim is inert — native selects stay native. */
