+// Tauri commands wrapping the kon_storage transcript CRUD.
 // These are the bridge that lets the Svelte frontend treat SQLite as the
 // canonical store rather than localStorage.
 //
 // Day 4 of the upgrade plan. The frontend HistoryPage rename flow has had
 // a `// TODO: persist to SQLite when update_transcript exists` for some
 // time; that command now exists.
+//
+// Task 16 — the legacy global-dictionary commands
+// (`list_dictionary_command`, `add_dictionary_entry_command`,
+// `delete_dictionary_entry_command`) were dropped; profile-scoped
+// `profile_terms` commands in `commands::profiles` are now canonical.
