-SITE_ID and email branding
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-We do **not** override ``SITE_ID`` during initial Tutor setup.
-
-Leaving ``SITE_ID`` unset allows Django to create sites correctly:
-
-- ``example.com`` → ``id = 1``
-- LMS site → ``id = 2``
-
-Overriding ``SITE_ID`` too early may result in the LMS site using ``id = 3`` and
-``example.com`` using ``id = 2``.
-
-When to set SITE_ID
-*******************
-
-For features that rely on site context (for example bulk emails or other
-personalized emails), explicitly set::
-
-    SITE_ID = 2
-
-Add this setting in the ``openedx-common-settings`` patch::
-
-    patches:
-      openedx-common-settings: |
-        SITE_ID = 2

-Emails sent without correct branding
-------------------------------------
-
-**Cause**
-
-When the platform cannot determine the site from the request, it falls back to
-``SITE_ID``. If ``SITE_ID`` points to ``example.com``, emails are sent without
-proper branding.

-**Fix**
-
-Ensure your LMS site uses ``id = 2`` and set::
