GH#3031: Fix broken Decision Table in headless-dispatch.md

[marcusquinn]

Summary

• Move two orphaned markdown table rows back into the Decision Table in headless-dispatch.md
• PR t1408.4: Add batch execution strategies for task decomposition dispatch #3000 inserted the "Batch Strategies for Decomposed Tasks" section in the middle of the table, stranding the "Cron" and "Migration" scenario rows after the section
• Those rows rendered as plain text instead of table cells — now restored to the table

Details

The Gemini code review on PR #3000 flagged this issue: the new section and preceding blank line were inserted mid-table, breaking rendering for the last two rows. This fix moves those rows back into the table (before the blank line that terminates it) and places the Batch Strategies section after the complete table.

Verification: markdownlint-cli2 reports 0 errors on the fixed file.

Closes #3031

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Improved decision table with additional practical examples demonstrating parallel versus sequential task execution patterns, including scheduled reporting workflows and step-dependent migration processes.

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves a markdown rendering error in headless-dispatch.md by restructuring a decision table. A previous change had inadvertently broken the table's display by inserting a new section in the middle, causing two rows to render incorrectly. This PR restores the table's integrity and ensures all its content is displayed as intended.

Highlights

• Markdown Table Fix: Two previously orphaned markdown table rows ("Cron" and "Migration" scenarios) were moved back into the Decision Table in headless-dispatch.md.
• Rendering Correction: The fix addresses a rendering issue where these rows appeared as plain text due to a section ("Batch Strategies for Decomposed Tasks") being inserted mid-table by a previous PR (t1408.4: Add batch execution strategies for task decomposition dispatch #3000).
• Section Relocation: The "Batch Strategies for Decomposed Tasks" section has been moved to appear after the complete Decision Table, resolving the structural problem.

Changelog

• .agents/tools/ai-assistants/headless-dispatch.md
  • Relocated two table rows ("Cron" and "Migration" scenarios) to be within the decision table.
  • Moved the "Batch Strategies for Decomposed Tasks" section to appear after the decision table.

Activity

• The issue was initially flagged during a Gemini code review on PR t1408.4: Add batch execution strategies for task decomposition dispatch #3000.
• The pull request closes issue quality-debt: .agents/tools/ai-assistants/headless-dispatch.md — PR #3000 review feedback (medium) #3031.
• Verification was performed using markdownlint-cli2, reporting 0 errors on the fixed file.
