+/*
+ * USE THIS WITH CAUTION
+ *
+ * Only use this selector if you are absolutely sure that your UI component needs
+ * data from _all chains_ to compute a value. Else, use `getChainIdsToPoll`.
+ *
+ * Examples:
+ * - Components that should NOT use this selector:
+ *   - Token list: This only needs to poll for chains based on the network filter
+ *     (potentially only one chain). In this case, use `getChainIdsToPoll`.
+ * - Components that SHOULD use this selector:
+ *   - Aggregated balance: This needs to display data regardless of network filter
+ *     selection (always showing aggregated balances across all chains).
+ *
+ * Key Considerations:
+ * - This selector can cause expensive computations. It should only be used when
+ *   necessary, and where possible, optimized to use `getChainIdsToPoll` instead.
+ * - Logic Overview:
+ *   - If `PORTFOLIO_VIEW` is not enabled, the selector returns only the `currentChainId`.
+ *   - Otherwise, it includes all chains from `networkConfigurations`, excluding
+ *     `TEST_CHAINS`, while ensuring the `currentChainId` is included.
