### Flags no longer in frontend-insights featureFlags.ts (not here by design)

The following flags are owned by backend services, not frontend:

- `insights_playlist_page_hourly_playlists` — ows-playlist
- `insights_playlist_page_apple_music_playlists` — ows-playlist
- `insights_playlist_current_tracklist_preaggregated` — ows-playlist
- `insights_playlist_page_hide_compilation_art` — ows-playlist + graphql-analytics

## Flag Flow for `inferredCompilation`

1. frontend-insights: (no flag needed — just reads field if present)
2. graphql-analytics: checks `insights_playlist_page_hide_compilation_art` → passes `insights_playlist_page_hide_compilation_art=true` to ows-playlist
3. ows-playlist: reads `INSIGHTS_PLAYLIST_PAGE_HIDE_COMPILATION_ART` FF → includes `INFERRED_COMPILATION` field in response from `V_PLAYLISTS_BY_PLAYLIST_CURRENT_TRACKLIST`
