/// `LiveActivityIntent` is not about Live Activities here: a plain `SetFocusFilterIntent` is only
/// reliably performed while the app is in the foreground, and silently skipped when iOS would have
/// to launch the app to run it — which is every Focus that starts with the app closed, so the
/// filter misses exactly the moments it exists for. The conformance opts the intent into being run
/// in the app's process in the background, which is what makes it run at all.
///
/// Declared here rather than on the type so the filter itself stays available on the iOS versions
/// below the one that introduced the protocol.
