-     * Fetch one agent's ACP adapter through **whichever distribution it actually ships**, dispatching
-     * npx → uvx → binary: the same preference order `resolveLaunch` uses to decide which one will be
-     * launched, so `Install` always fetches the thing that will later be started.
-     *
-     * ## Why this exists
-     *
-     * {@link install} used to refuse anything without an `npx` block outright, which made
-     * `installBinary` (`binaryInstall.ts`) and `installUvTool` (`uvxInstall.ts`) unreachable from
-     * production: they were written, tested, and called by nothing. On the live registry snapshot that
-     * is 18 of 39 agents — 16 binary-only and 2 uvx-only — every one of them rendering an `Install`
-     * button whose task could only ever fail. Design §4.1's "three distributions, one model" is this
-     * function.
-     *
-     * ## `unsupported` still exists, and now means something narrower
+     * Install one agent's adapter through **whichever distribution it actually ships**, dispatching
+     * npx → uvx → binary, then commit the build and make it current. The caller holds the agent's lock.
      *
-     * Two cases, and neither of them is "this build has not got round to it yet":
-     *
-     * - the registry entry declares no launchable distribution at all, so there is nothing to fetch;
-     * - the entry is binary-only and publishes no archive for **this machine's** platform triple —
-     *   `windows-aarch64` covers 9 of 18 binary entries (see `binaryInstall.ts`'s module doc). Checked
-     *   here rather than left to `installBinary`'s own identical check so the answer carries
-     *   `unsupported`, which is what a card renders as `Unsupported` instead of a retryable error.
-     *
-     * Every other failure is an ordinary `error` the reader can retry.
-     *
-     * `checksumVerified` from the binary path is deliberately not propagated into
-     * {@link AcpInstallResult}: a registry entry with no `sha256` (`antigravity-acp`, `cursor`)
-     * installs successfully and this result must not imply either that it was verified or that
-     * anything went wrong. `binaryInstall.ts` logs the fact where it is established.
+     * `unsupported` means one of two things: the entry declares no launchable distribution at all, or
+     * it is binary-only and publishes no archive for **this machine's** platform triple. Every other
+     * failure is an ordinary `error` the reader can retry, and leaves the current build untouched.
