So returning to statusline: what the fuck? A command has some callback getPromptForCommand - there are two basic kinds of commands, those that "do something" and are a function call, and those that are "prompt commands" which just return a prompt back to the main LLM loop.

To to set your statusline, the statusline command creates prompt text that TELLS THE MAIN LOOP to SPAWN AN AGENT with a given prompt. note that this does ***not*** directly spawn an agent, it is merely a suggestion. so right off the bat it is POSSIBLE TO FAIL EVEN INVOKING the command.

But before we get there, we have to pass through what happens after a slash command is issued, and one of the steps along the way is "if something looks like a slash command but we don't know about that command, then throw it back up to the main loop with some special Caveat Message that says "ok just ignore this please"
