  //   (AFTER_CONNECTION) has cached the flag, and an API client that connected while setup was
  //   stalled on a slow component has already listed the entities, so they keep the old value.

  //   codegen runs for exposed entities, so a name collision can surface at runtime. Entities with
  //   only an 'id:' are forced internal and use the id as their name.
