 # backend dispatch (S0.5, issue #825).
 #
 # Exercises the three CLI paths the Nomad+Vault migration cares about:
-#   1. --backend=nomad  --dry-run         → cluster-up step list
-#   2. --backend=nomad --empty --dry-run  → same, with "--empty" banner
-#   3. --backend=docker --dry-run         → docker path unaffected
+#   1. --backend=nomad  --dry-run         -> cluster-up step list

 #
 # A throw-away `placeholder/repo` slug satisfies the CLI's positional-arg
 # requirement (the nomad dispatcher never touches it). --dry-run on both
 # backends short-circuits before any network/filesystem mutation, so the
-# suite is hermetic — no Forgejo, no sudo, no real cluster.
