/**
 * languageNeedsServerSync reports whether the durable account's `preferred_language` should be
 * rewritten to the chosen interface `locale`. It is true only for a real (non-guest) account
 * whose stored language differs from the locale; guests keep only the client-side preference,
 * and an already-matching account is a no-op.
 *
 * The UI language follows the device (the local choice / system guess), but the advertising
 * banner and out-of-app push routing are resolved server-side from `preferred_language`. A saved
 * device choice the account has not yet recorded — picked while a guest, or differing from the
 * Telegram system-language seed — would otherwise leave the banner and pushes in the wrong
 * language until the next Settings change. Both the Settings control and the on-load reconciler
 * gate their write on this.
