At what point during the turn does the game check to see if an army
still has a commander and, if it finds none, disband the army?
For example, if an army's only commander is assassinated but a new
commander MoveJoins the army on the same turn, will the army
disband? Would the answer be different if the commander died during
a challenge, or during army combat?

Any time the army commander dies.

You're complaining about entropy? Things are always falling
apart, and it's up to us to be always putting them back together.

At any point, if there is no commnader the army disbands immediately.
also remember that joining an army needs an army commander. If there
is no army commnader, how would you join it?
So curses, challenges, assesination, kidnappings, death in combat and
so on will disband an army when the last army commander dies. No
waiting time in between :).

No, the army is disbanded before any moveing/joining/765/780, etc. Its set up so there are no loopholes. I would suspect it's immediately upon the event. Similarly, a character who dies at 210 cannot issue any orders after that point.
