+/**
+ * The program `vigiles eval` runs. Given one eval FILE, it imports the
+ * description that file exports and executes the measurement it declares.
+ *
+ * This module exists so that the eval file does not have to be a program. The
+ * old shape put the run in the module body, which made `import()` — the cheapest
+ * way to ask "does this parse?" — spend real money (see `core/eval-load-phase.ts`
+ * for the measurement and `eval-define.ts` for the shape that replaced it).
+ *
+ * ## What it does, in order
+ *
+ *   1. closes the paid tier, imports the file, reopens it — so a leftover
+ *      top-level `measure(…)` in a half-migrated file throws with a migration
+ *      message instead of quietly billing;
+ *   2. reads the default export as a declaration — a pure function of a value,
+ *      so "declares nothing" is answered before a cent is spent;
+ *   3. honours `skipIf` (exit 77, the runner's loud `⊘ SKIPPED`);
+ *   4. runs the one declared measurement, overriding `trials` from
+ *      `VIGILES_TRIALS` — which is why no eval file parses env or argv any more;
+ *   5. prints the report with the formatter that matches the measurement;
+ *   6. fails on a run that executed ZERO trials — the check every file used to
+ *      hand-write as `if (report.n === 0) throw`;
+ *   7. calls `assert(report)`.
+ *
+ * ## Not a CLI verb
+ *
+ * `vigiles eval` is unchanged; this is the interpreter it spawns per file, the
+ * same way it already spawned `node <file>`. It takes one positional argument
+ * and has no flags — every knob stays on `vigiles eval`.
