contents We calculate second- and selected fourth-order conserved-charge fluctuations in $(2+1)$-flavor QCD using Möbius domain-wall fermions (MDWF) along a line of constant physics. Gauge ensembles were generated for two light-to-strange quark-mass ratios, $m_l/m_s=1/10$ and $1/27.4$, corresponding to heavier-than-physical and physical pion masses, respectively. For $m_l/m_s=1/10$, calculations were carried out on lattices with temporal extents $N_τ=12$ and $16$, enabling an assessment of lattice-spacing effects at heavier pion mass. For $m_l/m_s=1/27.4$, calculations were performed at $N_τ=12$, allowing us to study the light-quark-mass dependence down to the physical point. Below the pseudocritical temperature, second-order electric-charge, strangeness, and off-diagonal conserved-charge fluctuations are consistent with QMHRG2020 hadron resonance gas calculations. Across the crossover region, these observables rise rapidly and tend toward their Stefan--Boltzmann limits. Selected fourth-order cumulants were also computed at the physical pion mass. Although these observables are statistically more demanding, several channels with controlled uncertainties permit a first comparison with hadron resonance gas calculations.
