+/// @title DirectIndexRouter
+/// @notice Fallback-based router that dispatches calls using a single-byte
+///         function index extracted from `calldataload(0)` instead of the
+///         standard 4-byte ABI function-selector dispatch tree.
+/// @dev Why this saves gas: the canonical Solidity fallback path must recover
+///      the 4-byte selector (`calldataload(0)`) and then run it through a
+///      binary/linear search of `eq`/`jumpi` comparisons until the matching
+///      function body is found.  Each extra selector comparison costs ~3 gas
+///      (EQ + JUMPI), so a contract with N exposed functions can spend up to
+///      `3 * (N-1)` gas *before* any real logic runs.
+///
+///      By packing the routing decision into the **first byte** of calldata
+///      (`index := byte(0, calldataload(0))`), callers encode the target
+///      function directly and the router performs a single comparison per
+///      candidate, eliminating the selector-hashing overhead entirely for
+///      well-ordered dispatch tables.
