+"""Inject ${cmesh_bot_production.build_flags} into every
+*_companion_radio_(usb|ble) env across vendor/MeshCore/variants/.
+
+Run after scripts/apply-patches.sh. Idempotent: skips envs that already
+include the flag.
+
+Upstream MeshCore only includes cmesh_bot_production in Heltec V3 and
+RAK 4631 variants. For our release matrix (133 companion envs) we want
+the bot enabled everywhere, and we don't want to maintain a patch
+that has to be kept in sync with every new upstream board.
