* 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.
