+ * Queue domains that differ from their a2loft identity code.
+ *
+ * A queue item's `domain` comes from the Telegram intake: the operator tags a
+ * photo (e.g. `#core`) and the bot stores that label verbatim, then translated
+ * it before every a2loft call. a2loft has no `core` domain — `GET
+ * {a2loft}/identity/core/units` answers "Invalid domain code specified." while
+ * `uc` is valid — so the label must be mapped before the save is forwarded.
+ * (The proper fix is on the intake side: enqueue the a2loft code, or register
+ * `core` upstream; until then this keeps existing queue data working.)
