 /**
- * `peaks sub-agent dispatch <role> ...` — slice 2026-06-07-sub-agent-context-governance.
+ * `peaks sub-agent dispatch` — the single-dispatch chokepoint.
  *
- * Pulled out of `sub-agent-commands.ts` (slice 2026-06-23-audit-p0-split) to
  * honor the 800-line file cap (Karpathy #2 Simplicity First). The single
  * `dispatch` action lives here; the `--from-dag` sibling was further split
- * into `dispatch-from-dag.ts` (slice 2026-06-23-audit-3rd #7) because the
  * two paths share no logic and the `--from-dag` codepath loads three heavy
  * modules on first call (slice 9 perf) that the warm-path single-dispatch
  * never touches.
  *
- * Skill-first / CLI-auxiliary red line (PB-4 / AC-19/20): this command is
  * a primitive that the peaks-code / peaks-rd / peaks-qa SKILL.md compose.
  * Users do NOT invoke it directly; the --help text and dispatch
  * envelope's `nextActions` reinforce the point.
+ *
+ * This module orchestrates: the option surface, the preflight refusals, the
+ * detached/DAG short-circuits and the record+envelope write are here; the lease,
+ * the prompt composition and the tool call each own a module.
