Description
When navigating around content libraries, the following errors appear over and over in the JS console:
GET http://studio.local.openedx.io:8001/api/contentstore/v1/course_waffle_flags/lib:foo:bar 404 (Not Found)
course-specific waffle flag overrides don't apply to libraries, so the frontend shouldn't be trying to load them.

Research direction
Inspect the content-library navigation code and the requests to the course_waffle_flags endpoint. Reproduce the repeated 404 in the browser console, then verify that navigating content libraries no longer requests course-specific waffle flags and that other course flag behavior remains intact.
