//! Drive an overseer-authored [`Plan`] through a [`CrewRunner`] — the execute
//! side of the **overseer/crew split** (#628 P2).
//!
//! A stronger seat *authors* the decomposition (a `plan::Plan` DAG); this driver
//! *executes* it leaf-by-leaf. It speaks only the `CrewRunner` contract
//! `(op, args, caveats) → result`, so the **same** drive serves `/mode
//! single|crew|mesh|remote` — the runner owns placement (its own workspace) and
//! **attenuates** the per-leaf caveats fail-closed, so authority travels with the
//! work and never widens.
//!
//! Pure orchestration over the [`Plan`] state machine
//! ([`next_dispatch`](Plan::next_dispatch) / [`mark`](Plan::mark) /
//! [`is_complete`](Plan::is_complete)); a mock `CrewRunner` exercises the whole
//! loop with no inference.
