 	/**
-	 * Eidos `Table.SortButton` — ergonomic helper for the canonical sort UI.
-	 *
-	 * Soma exposes sort state imperatively (`table.toggleSort`,
-	 * `table.getCanSort`, `table.getIsSorted`) but does NOT render a sort
-	 * button — that's left to the consumer. This helper renders a
-	 * borderless button inside a `<Table.ColumnHeader>` that toggles
-	 * sort on click and shift+click (multi-sort when enabled), shows a
-	 * tri-state chevron, and hides itself when the column is not sortable.
+	 * Eidos `Table.SortButton` — ergonomic paint wrapper around the
+	 * canonical soma `<Table.SortTrigger>` part. Soma owns the canSort
+	 * guard, click/keyboard handlers, and `data-sortable`/`data-sorted`
+	 * attrs. Eidos only paints the chrome: label slot + tri-state chevron.
 	 *
 	 *   <Table.ColumnHeader {header}>
 	 *     <Table.SortButton {header}>{header.label}</Table.SortButton>
 	 *   </Table.ColumnHeader>
 	 *
-	 * Pure ergonomic shortcut — consumers can still hand-roll their own
-	 * sort button if they need a non-standard shape.
+	 * Pure visual decoration of soma's SortTrigger.
