-// --- TEMPORARILY DISABLED: payment-event RabbitMQ consumer ----------------------------------
-// The payment broker is currently unreachable (DevOps is fixing it). @golevelup awaits the
-// @RabbitSubscribe registration during bootstrap, so an unreachable broker hangs the whole API
-// and it never finishes starting. Disabled so the server boots without the broker.
-// TO RE-ENABLE (once the broker is back): uncomment the imports below, the RabbitMQModule entry
-// in `imports`, and PaymentEventsConsumer in `providers`.
