+"""Inject co-op branding + a per-build marker into the built index.html.

+Non-fatal by design: if the file is missing or upstream changes shape, we
+exit 0 so a cosmetic patch can never break a version bump.
+
+The x-coop-build marker makes index.html unique per build, which changes the
+service worker's precache revision — otherwise stale clients keep running the
+old cached app shell (the "my changes never deploy" class of bug).
