+/**
+ * scripts/dialectic-deriver.mjs — Core deriver for /evolve --dialectic mode (issue #506).
+ *
+ * Reasons over top-N learnings + last-K sessions + existing peer cards + project
+ * steering to derive a unified ```diff block per peer-card target (USER.md / AGENT.md).
+ *
+ * Constitutional constraint — `rules/opt-in-domain/prompt-caching.md:3`:
+ *   "Out of scope: session-orchestrator itself (no SDK use; backend.md
+ *   § 'AI Provider Abstraction' already forbids direct SDK imports in business
+ *   logic, and the orchestrator runs inside Claude Code's harness which manages
+ *   caching at the platform layer)."
+ *
+ * Consequence: this module does NOT import `@anthropic-ai/sdk` and is NOT a
+ * dependency on it. Instead, callers inject `dispatchAgent` — the evolve skill
+ * supplies the real `Agent({...})` wrapper at runtime; tests supply a
+ * `vi.fn()` mock. Same DI shape as `scripts/lib/autopilot.mjs::runLoop({opts})`.
+ *
+ * Design notes
+ * ────────────
+ *  - No external dependencies (Node 20+ stdlib only) — mirrors auto-dream.mjs.
+ *  - All pure-function gates (validateModel, estimateInputTokens, checkBudget,
+ *    detectEmptying, buildPayload, buildPrompt, parseResponse) are exported so
+ *    W3 P1 unit tests can call them without mocking dispatchAgent.
+ *  - dry-run-default per #506: callers must opt in to write side-effects elsewhere
+ *    (this module never writes files; it only returns the proposed diff).
+ *  - Read-only by contract over learnings.jsonl / sessions.jsonl / peer cards /
+ *    steering. Best-effort parsing — malformed lines are skipped silently.
+ *  - All input reads are guarded by existsSync; missing inputs collapse to
+ *    `{status: 'empty-input'}` rather than throwing.
+ *
+ * Public API
+ * ──────────
+ *  - runDialecticDeriver({...})    — main entry; orchestrates read → payload → dispatch → parse
+ *  - validateModel(model)           — fail-fast on unknown model name
+ *  - estimateInputTokens(payload)   — char-count/4 heuristic
+ *  - checkBudget(estimated, budget) — verdict for budget gate
+ *  - detectEmptying(diff, existing) — would the diff delete all sections?
+ *  - buildPayload({...})            — pure assembly of LLM payload object
+ *  - buildPrompt(payload, model)    — assemble final prompt string
+ *  - parseResponse(text)            — extract fenced ```diff blocks per target
