+// remote OmniRoute deployments where the CLI lives on the user's laptop, not
+// on the server), the card must still surface a "Manual Config" button so the
+// user can copy the settings.json snippet and paste it into the CLI on their
+// local machine. Before this fix the Manual Config button only rendered when
+// `cliReady === true`, which made the card useless for remote deployments
+// (upstream report: decolua/9router#579, port of decolua/9router#615).
