/**
* Shared single-pass HTML/XML entity decoder for the client SPA.
*
* Why single-pass: sequential `.replace(/&/g, '&')` chains decode TWO
* levels when `&` runs before the other replaces — `<` becomes
* `<` in one call, turning escaped text into live markup. One regex pass
* over an alternation decodes exactly one level for every input.
*
* `String.fromCodePoint` throws `RangeError` on anything outside the Unicode
* range, which would turn one malformed numeric reference (``)
* into a crashed render. Out-of-range references are preserved instead.
* `fromCharCode` is not usable here: it truncates to 16 bits, so `😀`
* would decode to U+F600 (a private-use glyph) rather than 😀.
*
* Mirrors `scripts/_html-entities.mjs` (kept separate because seed scripts
* cannot be imported from `src/`).
