-**Completion evidence:** metadata-only suites, no scopes, partial capabilities,

+**Completion evidence — complete:** `Command` eagerly captures the suite,
+operation capabilities, scope metadata, selector applicability, callbacks, and
+retained scope issues into a root-only `config` declaration. It validates named
+scope presence/uniqueness, reserved `all`, operation values, enabled acquisition
+wiring, and selector scope references. Generated inspection commands capture
+only selector bindings used by scopes that support that operation; metadata-only
+suites still provide ordered `config scopes` discovery and do not initialize
+suite input/state or call providers. Shared preflight resolves format, scope,
+aggregate availability, and explain pointers before per-scope input factories.
+Each selected scope receives a fresh input, only its applicable original flags,
+and scope-aware validation; successful inputs remain on the invocation-local
+plan for the report handlers. `AppCommand` uses the same suite factory and
+retains a nil original loader issue. Package execution checks wait for the
+operation handlers and replacement of the relocated prototype tests.
