Deploy the dispatcher PCF for a third-party `.ppmplugin` control to a Power Platform environment via `pac pcf push`. The dispatcher PCF is the Studio-side control that dispatches the composite key `<name>/<receiver>` over the wrap shell's `SendMessagePlugin` bridge to the control's native module. Verifies deploy prereqs (Node.js 20+ with npm, .NET SDK, and active `pac auth`), then three confirmation gates — publisher prefix (2–8 chars; defaults to `pamext` or the last-used value from `.extension-state.md`), version bump (patch / minor / major / no-bump), target environment URL (from `pac org who`). Builds the PCF if needed, then pushes. Decoupled from /generate-pcf-companion so the engineer can scaffold and customize locally, then deploy when ready. Updates `.extension-state.md` with deployment history (timestamp, env URL, version, prefix used).

On-demand deployment of the dispatcher PCF for a third-party .ppmplugin control to a Power Platform environment. The dispatcher PCF is the Studio-side control that dispatches the composite key <name>/<receiver> over the wrap shell's SendMessagePlugin bridge to the control's native module. Runs pac pcf push against the user's active pac auth profile. Decoupled from /generate-pcf-companion — the engineer scaffolds locally, customizes / iterates, then deploys when ready.
