/**
 * Hook to retrieve a PostHog feature flag value.
 *
 * @returns `undefined | false | T` where:
 * - `undefined` = PostHog store is still loading OR flag doesn't exist (treat as "don't show")
 * - `false` = Flag is explicitly set to false (typically means "disabled" or "control" for experiments)
 * - `T` = The actual flag value (string, boolean, or custom type like variant names)
 *
 * @example Experiment usage convention:
 * ```typescript
 * const variant = usePHFlag<ExperimentVariant | false>('experimentName')
 *
 * // undefined = loading/doesn't exist, don't render anything yet
 * if (variant === undefined) return null
 *
 * // false = explicitly disabled, show control
 * if (variant === false) return <Control />
 *
 * // Otherwise, variant has a value, show experiment
 * return <Experiment variant={variant} />
 * ```
 *
 * @todo TODO(Alaister): move this to packages/common/feature-flags.tsx and rename to useFlag
 * @todo TODO(sean): Refactor to have explicit loading/disabled/value states
 *       See https://linear.app/briven/issue/GROWTH-539
