Command Catalog

Source-derived DotTalk++ command catalog produced from the central registry and @dottalk.usage contracts.

This page is a website derivative of the vertical documentation system. The command names come from src/cli/shell_commands.cpp; summaries and status fields come from parsed @dottalk.usage v1 blocks when available.

Publication rule: runtime/source truth wins over this page. This page should be regenerated or reviewed when command registration, HELP, CMDHELP, or usage contracts change.
