-An experimental safe output type that triggers `repository_dispatch` events in external repositories for cross-repository orchestration. Each key under `safe-outputs.dispatch_repository:` defines a named tool exposed to the agent. A tool requires a `workflow` identifier (forwarded in `client_payload` for routing), an `event_type`, and either a static `repository` slug or an `allowed_repositories` list. GitHub Actions expressions (`${{ ... }}`) are supported in repository fields and are passed through without format validation.

 Triggers [`repository_dispatch`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-when-your-workflow-runs/events-that-trigger-workflows#repository_dispatch) events in external repositories. Unlike `dispatch-workflow` (same-repo only), `dispatch_repository` is designed for cross-repository orchestration.
 
+The compiler accepts both `dispatch_repository` (underscore, preferred) and `dispatch-repository` (dash, alias) as the safe-output key. Either spelling produces the same behavior.
