Behavior

Change one selected Dialect. Without a source, a local selection is read again from its recorded path, which records content you edited. With a source, the selection switches to it. The source must declare the same name; a registry selection needs a source because no tag is recorded.

When the project vendors this family under .rootform/, the vendored copy changes together with rootform.lock.

The summary goes to standard output. Diagnostics go to standard error.
