+//! Server-side legacy RPC method aliases.
+//!
+//! Mirrors the frontend's `LEGACY_METHOD_ALIASES` table in
+//! `app/src/services/rpcMethods.ts`. The frontend rewrites outgoing method
+//! names for clients that just updated; this module rewrites incoming
+//! method names for clients that haven't updated yet (older shipped bundles
+//! in the wild). Together they form a symmetric migration safety net:
+//! either side can be the one that's behind, and the call still resolves.
+//!
+//! When adding or removing an entry here, keep
+//! `app/src/services/rpcMethods.ts:LEGACY_METHOD_ALIASES` in sync. The two
+//! tables are intentionally identical: the same legacy → canonical map
+//! applied at both ends of the wire.
+//!
+//! The rewrite is a pure key-to-key lookup. No domain branches, no
+//! parameter inspection — if a method isn't in the table, it passes through
+//! untouched.
+
+/// Legacy → canonical RPC method name pairs.
+///
+/// Order doesn't matter for correctness, but is kept alphabetical by legacy
+/// key for easier diffing against the frontend table.
