+/**
+ * C244 — enrolls the reference descriptors of one curated public figure of the
+ * album's "Pessoa pública" facet. Each `--image` is a portrait (official/archive
+ * photo, curated by a human); the CLI prepares it exactly like the batch
+ * (`prepareFaceImage`) and detects faces with the SAME face-api engine the
+ * browser and `faces:index` use, so reference and archive vectors share one
+ * space. The reference is refused unless the image yields EXACTLY one face
+ * (crop the portrait); the descriptor never leaves the server, and no score is
+ * ever produced.
+ *
+ * Modes:
+ *   pnpm faces:enroll-figure …            plan/dry-run (default) — resolves the
+ *                                         figure and the images; no engine, no write
+ *   pnpm faces:enroll-figure … --apply    detects and writes the references;
+ *                                         requires FACE_FIGURE_CONFIRM=1 outside
+ *                                         local dev and the declared TEQO_ENV
+ *
+ * Options: --figure <slug> --name "Nome" (required to create) [--full-name]
+ * [--source "Origem"] --image <path> (repeatable) [--replace] [--out <dir>]
+ * [--help]. The facet only lights up after the runbook's bust of the
+ * `archivePhotos` tag (the CLI runs outside Next).
