/**
 * THIS HOOK USED TO THROW, AND THE THROW REACHED PRODUCTION.
 *
 * `if (!ctx) throw new Error(...)` is the ordinary React idiom for a missing
 * provider, and it is right for a hook only developers can reach. This one is
 * not: it is called on anonymous, logged-out page views, where a throw is a
 * white screen for a visitor who has done nothing wrong. crm7#1603 recorded
 * 1,856 fatal errors over 80 days from exactly that — 87% of the error log.
 *
 * That issue was closed by mounting a provider in crm7. Then in conduit, and
 * throughput, and BSU, and R80.4 — five independent workarounds for a throw
 * nobody removed, leaving the next consumer rendered outside a provider to
 * recreate the incident in full.
 *
 * So the hook now DEGRADES instead of throwing: a null branding, which every
 * consumer already handles because `branding` is nullable inside a provider too.
 *
 * The developer signal is not lost, only moved off the user's screen. A missing
 * provider is still a real mistake, so it is reported once per session via
 * console.error in development. Once, not per render: a hook that fires on every
 * anonymous view would otherwise flood the console and train everyone to ignore
 * it, which is how a real warning becomes invisible.
