+/**
+ * Who else defines an agent type: the install-edge check behind devflow's Explore
+ * override.
+ *
+ * Pure core (`parseAgentType`) with one bounded I/O function (`findForeignAgentOwner`)
+ * at the installer edge. Result-style outcomes: nothing here throws.
+ *
+ * D-EXPLORE-OVERRIDE: devflow ships an agent whose frontmatter `name:` is `Explore`,
+ * the same type as the Explore agent built into Claude Code. This is a documented,
+ * supported override, not a collision: Claude Code merges its agent sources into one
+ * map keyed by the exact `name:` string, in the order built-in, plugin, user, project,
+ * flag, policy, and a later source replaces an earlier one. A user-level agent named
+ * Explore therefore replaces the built-in for every session on the machine, plan mode
+ * included, because the lookup is by agent type and no session mode bypasses it.
+ *
+ * Verified against Claude Code 2.1.296 (`claude --version`) by reading the binary:
+ *   - the merge is `bz` (the Map keyed by `agentType`, last source wins);
+ *   - the built-in Explore is `omitClaudeMd: true` with `model: "inherit"`, and its
+ *     inherit-cap to Opus is gated on `source === "built-in"`, so it does not follow
+ *     the override;
+ *   - `omitGitStatus` is set by `agentType === "Explore" || agentType === "Plan"` and
+ *     checks no source, so devflow's Explore is spared the git-status block too;
+ *   - agents are matched with strict equality, so `explore` and `Explore` are two
+ *     different agents.
+ * Uninstalling removes devflow's copy, and the built-in applies again.
+ *
+ * D-EXPLORE-NO-CLOBBER: two user-level agents with one type fall back to file load
+ * order, so devflow never installs a second Explore beside the user's own. The install
+ * skips its copy when another file under the agents directory defines the type, and
+ * never touches that file. Matching is exact, as Claude Code's is: a lowercase
+ * `explore` agent is a different agent and does not block the install.
