The dispatcher and its verbs.

A shim is a link to the dispatcher binary named after a payload’s command. Each invocation resolves three things: which payload (argv0), which version (the version chain: a per-tool environment pin, then the nearest project file walking up from the working directory, then config defaults, then the registry default), and which runtime (the entrypoint’s requirement — newest compatible cached, else download, verify, and cache). The walkthrough is the Shims & versions guide.

list shows the registered shims; enable and disable turn a payload’s dispatch on and off without removing it; which resolves a tool name the way a dispatch would and prints the plan — the entrypoint, the payload, and the runtime it would use.

The verb checks the dispatch machinery — the store, the registries, the shims — and prints each problem with its remedy. The guide pairs it with the debug surface: Debug & logging.

The verbs add or remove the shim directory from the shell’s PATH — the step tebako install performs when it registers a payload’s commands.
