+/**
+ * @module AgentLauncher
+ *
+ * AgentLauncher provides a clean, reusable way to discover, load, run, and
+ * hand-off between "clean" Agent instances (those built with the unified
+ * Agent class and exported via `export default agent;`).
+ *
+ * Primary responsibilities:
+ *   - Discovery: `list()` returns all agents found in the standard locations
+ *     without importing them (now includes a short `desc`).
+ *   - Loading: `load(name)` resolves, imports, and validates a clean Agent.
+ *   - Execution: `run()` handles CLI argument parsing, one-shot calls,
+ *     --help/--info, and interactive CLI startup.
+ *   - In-process handoff: Listens for the 'agent:handoff' event on the active
+ *     Prompt and seamlessly swaps the active agent (including rebinding the
+ *     single long-lived Cli instance when in interactive mode).
+ *
+ * Design highlights:
+ *   - A single Cli instance is kept for the lifetime of the launcher in
+ *     interactive mode. On handoff we call `cli.rebind(...)` instead of
+ *     creating a new Cli (which would duplicate global key handlers).
+ *   - Handoffs are always "fresh": the new agent starts with only its own
+ *     system prompt + the provided context. No conversation history is copied.
+ *   - Same-name "handoff" (self-reset) is supported as a deliberate fresh-start
+ *     / token-reduction mechanism. The current agent is fully replaced with a
+ *     newly loaded instance of itself + the new focused context.
+ *   - Old agents are cleaned up via `destructor()` (removes listeners, aids GC).
+ *   - Works for both interactive CLI and non-interactive / one-shot usage.
+ *
+ * Typical usage (from user code or a thin launcher script):
+ *   ```js
+ *   import { AgentLauncher } from '@j-o-r/hello-dave';
+ *
+ *   const launcher = new AgentLauncher();
+ *   const agents = await launcher.list();
+ *   await launcher.load('code_agent');
+ *   await launcher.run();   // handles argv, one-shot, or interactive CLI
+ *   ```
+ *
+ * Thin launcher example (agents/code_launcher.js style):
+ *   ```js
+ *   import AgentLauncher from '../lib/AgentLauncher.js';
+ *   const launcher = new AgentLauncher();
+ *   await launcher.load('code_agent');
+ *   await launcher.run();
+ *   ```
+ *
+ * Handoff support is automatic once an agent registers the hand_over / load_agent
+ * tools (see lib/handOffToolset.js and agents that call
+ * `toolset.addFrom(API.toolset.generic.handoff, 'hand_over')`).

+   * We deliberately **never** copy previous conversation history into the new
+   * agent. Reasons:
+   *   - Prevents uncontrolled growth of session size / token usage
+   *   - Keeps the new agent's context clean and task-focused
+   *   - Forces explicit, high-quality handoff context from the previous agent
+   *
+   * Same-name handoff (self-reset) is intentionally supported:
+   *   - Useful for token reduction after long/drifted conversations.
+   *   - The agent must provide a genuinely new, focused task in the context.
+   *   - It is **not** intended for meta "reload yourself" commands.
+   *
+   * Context injection behavior:
+   *   - The raw `context` from the tool is wrapped with clear markers before injection.
+   *   - This makes the handoff visible to the user in the CLI.
+   *   - It also gives the receiving agent an explicit signal ("this is a handoff / fresh start")
+   *     instead of blindly treating the previous agent's context string as a direct user command.
+   *   - Different phrasing is used for normal cross-agent handoff vs. same-agent self-reset.
+   *
+   * Behavior differs by mode:
+   *   - Interactive (`#isInteractive && #cli`): Rebind the existing Cli instance
+   *     to the new prompt/session + description (with a handoff/reset banner), then
+   *     call `cli.start(initialContext)`.
+   *   - Non-interactive / one-shot: Inject context (if any) as a non-sticky
+   *     user message and trigger a request on the new prompt.
