Adding new commands
New commands are registered in apps/tui/src/lib/slash-commands.ts (canonical name, aliases, description, optional usage hint), then dispatched in apps/tui/src/app.tsx. The smoke harness check slash/dispatch-coverage ensures every registered name has a dispatch case before merge.
