📖What it means
What takes the next thing off the queue and hands it to a lane. It keeps exactly one autonomous initiative in flight — the cap is the dispatcher's job, not the queue's.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Dispatch queue
The queue is the line; the dispatcher is what pulls from it.
Not: Sequencer
The dispatcher decides WHAT runs next; a sequencer orders the steps within it.
