+/**
+ * devflow tdd — the machine switch for the test-first text of the installed Code agent.
+ *
+ * `features.tdd` in ~/.devflow/manifest.json (absent = on) picks which installed files carry the
+ * TDD text: with it on, the Code agent preloads the test-driven-development skill and its test
+ * step says "write one failing test first"; with it off, the skill folder is not installed and the
+ * Code agent keeps its test rules (one test per behaviour, trust boundaries, data loss, security,
+ * fail-closed paths) without the test-first wording. Nothing reads the switch at run time: it only
+ * decides which files this machine installs.
+ *
+ * `--enable` and `--disable` write the switch under the manifest lock, then run the one converge
+ * for every variant axis (applyVariantToggle) and report. A converge that is skipped (no readable
+ * manifest, a version skew) or that does not finish clean exits non-zero; the switch write is not
+ * rolled back, so `devflow init` finishes the job. `--status` prints the switch, the gated skill
+ * and what the install record says the installed prompts hold.
+ *
+ * The core (applyTddChange, readTddStatus) returns a Result and prints nothing; the command action
+ * renders it. That keeps the business logic free of throws and of terminal output.
