+/**
+ * Tests for the Terms/Privacy HTML parser used by WelcomeScreen.
+ *
+ * Two layers:
+ *  1. Deterministic unit tests over a fixed fixture — lock the parser's
+ *     behaviour (block segmentation, inline formatting, entity decoding).
+ *  2. A live guard test that fetches https://minibits.cash/terms and asserts
+ *     structural invariants. This is what catches an *unexpected* change to
+ *     the live Terms markup (e.g. a new element type the parser can't handle,
+ *     which would otherwise leak raw HTML into the app). Requires network.
