Context

The coily dispatch surfaces headless and cascade are lights-out by design: detached child, returns immediately, survives the terminal closing, never consults. The verb help conveys this through "detached", "most autonomous dispatch surface", "AFK queue work", and "never consults", but never uses the phrase "lights-out". The coily-dispatch skill prose already uses "lights-out" for headless, so the term lives in the surrounding docs but not in the binary's own --help.

Ask

Fold "lights-out" into the one-line summaries for headless and cascade so the binary help matches the vocabulary operators already use.

coily dispatch headless <ref> summary: name it lights-out (detached, AFK, never consults).
coily dispatch cascade <ref> summary: lights-out plus bounded recursive fan-out.
Leave interactive and consult unchanged. They are supervised, not lights-out.

Notes

Pure copy change in the command-registration help strings. No behavior change.
Keep "never consults". lights-out and never-consults are the two halves of the same property, both worth stating.
