+/**
+ * `defineEval` — an eval file DESCRIBES its eval; `vigiles eval` runs it.
+ *
+ * ## The defect this shape removes
+ *
+ * Eval files used to do their work in the module body:
+ *
+ *   const report = await measureTriggerRate({ … });    // ← top level
+ *   console.log(formatTriggerRateReport(report));
+ *   assertTriggerRate(report, { min: 0.6 });
+ *
+ * In ESM, `import` IS execution. So the cheapest imaginable question — "does
+ * this file even parse?" — answered with `import()` launched a real, paid run
+ * against a real model. That happened, and was paid for, on 2026-08-12.
+ *
+ * The fix is not a better warning. It is that the file no longer HOLDS a runner:
+ *
+ *   export default defineEval({
+ *     measureTriggerRate: { … },                       // ← data
+ *     assert: (r) => assertTriggerRate(r, { min: 0.6 }),
+ *   });
+ *
+ * `defineEval` builds a plain value. There is nothing in it to run, so importing
+ * it starts nothing — not "is discouraged from starting"; there is no call. The
+ * five paid runners are reached only by `eval-entry.ts`, the module `vigiles
+ * eval` spawns. After the migration, ZERO of this repo's 19 eval files import a
+ * runner at all: the paid subpath is no longer part of an eval file's vocabulary.
+ * (18 were already named `*.eval.*`; `from-promptfoo.mjs` was renamed in, because
+ * it ran a paid runner at the top level while sitting outside the runner's glob —
+ * the same defect in a file nothing would have caught.)
+ *
+ * ## Why data and not a callback
+ *
+ * `defineEval({ run: async ({ measure }) => … })` would also make importing
+ * inert, and it was rejected on a measurable difference: with a callback the
+ * runner cannot know WHAT a file declares without executing it, so "this file
+ * declares no eval" becomes undecidable, and the loud report on an unmigrated
+ * file — the whole discovery path — becomes impossible. With data it is a
+ * property of the value, decided before a cent is spent. (See
+ * `eval-define.test.ts`, which asserts exactly that on a fixture.)
+ *
+ * ## Running the file directly is a LOUD failure, not a no-op
+ *
+ * Every old eval file was documented as `node path/to/x.eval.mjs`, and that
+ * habit outlives the migration. A pure description run that way would print
+ * nothing and exit 0 — a silent no-op, the same class of defect in a new place.
+ * So `defineEval` refuses when node was pointed straight at an eval file (a
+ * POSITIVE identification from `process.argv[1]`, the same fact and the same
+ * reasoning `foreign-runner.ts` uses; it cannot be forged by configuration).
+ * `node --check <file>` — the free syntax check people should be reaching for —
+ * never executes, so it is untouched.
