Every mutation ran on a copy under the suite's sandbox; the pre-fix tool is kept at `/tmp/opencode/epilogrefuse/old-repo-lint` for replay, and the pre-fix capture ran in a throwaway clone so `/data/repo` was never reverted even for a moment.

- **Carried from `[0.4.59]` (contrast)**: `app.php`'s chat-header links put accent TEXT on the card surface at 3.55:1 (four documents) — same split-token fix as `[0.4.58]`, its own step.
- **Carried from `[0.4.47]` (3)**: `minmax(300px, 1fr)` / `minmax(280px, 1fr)` grids can overflow a 320 px viewport (the min track is wider than the narrowest supported width).
- **Carried from `[0.4.54]` (2)**: `ship-tree` names the first offending path but not *why* it is there (stray editor file vs a real new source file awaiting `git add`).
- **Carried from `[0.4.54]` (3)**: `--ignored` makes `git status` walk ignored content; a large ignored build dir under `app/src/php` would cost the 30 s `GLADEX_SHIP_TIMEOUT` on every promote *and* every dashboard row.
- **Carried from `[0.4.54]` (4)**: the `promote-gates` age re-ages on every dashboard run (needs a refusal moment no field carries).
- **Carried (investor-owned)**: NEEDS-INVESTOR **#57 public investor-route gating A/B/C** and **SOA MNAME** (`a.misconfigured.dns.server.invalid.` — `system-status` reports `mname=placeholder`) — surfaced as a warning by `system-status` on every run, cannot proceed unilaterally.

### Placement (deliberate — same as `[0.4.29]`–`[0.4.59]` which sit immediately above this one)
Parked at the bottom of an otherwise newest-first file on purpose: promoting it to the top would make it the version-train head while `GLADEX_APP_VERSION` and all four `gladex` binaries still report `0.4.28`, turning `tests/test_app_version` and `tests/test_cli_version` red until CI bumps the train. That bump is main-loop work and is not part of this fix.

$ cd /data/repo && cat >> CHANGELOG.md <<'EOF'

## [0.4.61] - 2026-09-25 — `repo-lint`'s import-time refusal was the ONE exit-3 path that emitted no JSON: `--format json | jq` got empty stdin while every other `die()` path emits an object, so the refusal now routes through `die()` with the flags defined ONCE and read by argparse itself before the parser exists (no hand-rolled `sys.argv` scan), suite 218 → 247, mutations 14 → 15

### Why (queue item 1 from `[0.4.60]`, verbatim)
- *"under `--format json` the refusal writes to stderr and raises **before argparse exists**, so a machine consumer piping `repo-lint --format json | jq` gets **empty stdin and a jq parse error** — while the tool's own documented JSON contract is that `die()` always emits an object carrying `go_compile: null` and `changelog_version: null`. The guard is right to refuse; what is undecided is whether a pre-argparse refusal is the one documented exception (then say so in the JSON bullet) or must also emit a JSON error object (then detect `--format json` in `sys.argv` before refusing). Today it is *neither*, i.e. a third, undocumented behaviour."*
- Same harm shape as the twenty-six before it: `[0.4.60]` closed the *refusal* question correctly and left a **third behaviour** beside "full object" and "`die()`'s partial object" — undocumented in §JSON, visible to exactly one consumer (the one piping to `jq`), and only reachable in the state where the tool is already broken, which is when a machine consumer most needs to be told *why* rather than handed a parse error of its own.

### Choice made, not asked — EMIT the object, and read argv with ARGPARSE, not by hand
- **Emit, don't document an exception.** §JSON's promise is shape-level: *every* `--format json` run yields one object with the pinned key set. Documenting a silent exception would make `jq`'s EOF the contract; emitting `die()`'s object keeps the invariant a consumer can code against. "A lint that did not run is never a pass" was never about **silence** — it is about `ok: false`, and the object says exactly that: `ok false`, `exit_code 3`, `failures[]`/`errors[]` empty (nothing was linted, so nothing is blamed on a file), `sha_resolved` null, both gates null.
- **The queue's own suggested mechanism was rejected.** It offered *detect `--format json` in `sys.argv`* — a hand-rolled scan, i.e. argparse's rules written out a second time (prefix matching, `--flag=value`, `--` termination, last-wins), which is the very class of second copy this file has spent `[0.4.53]`–`[0.4.60]` removing. Instead the four options moved into **`_add_flags(p)`**, called by `main()`'s parser *and* by a throwaway `ArgumentParser(add_help=False)` that parses `sys.argv[1:]` with `parse_known_args`. Both readings are argparse, reading the same definitions: they agree **by construction**, and R13 pins that there are exactly two call sites and one definition.
- **Argparse's own rejections are swallowed, not shown.** An invalid choice/float makes the pre-scan `SystemExit(2)`; `_pre_argparse` catches it and returns the defaults (`human`, `HEAD`), because argparse will never get to report it — the refusal fires first — and the refusal's contract is that *it* is the whole diagnosis (R18c asserts no `usage:` leaks in). Defaults are the honest answer for an argv that never got parsed. On a healthy tool that same argv still exits **2 with usage**, unchanged: JSON consumers already got no object from a usage error then and now.
- **A reorder was required, and it is load-bearing.** `die()`, `_now()` and `default_repo()` now sit **above** `_refuse_empty_epilog`/`EPILOG`, because at import none of them exist yet — `die` used to be defined 150 lines *after* the build that needs it. `p` arrives as `None` (documented in `die`'s own docstring: the parser is built in `main()`, long after this fires, and `die` never used it anyway).
- **One wording change, disclosed**: the human line is now `repo-lint: ERROR refusing to run - …` instead of `repo-lint: refusing to run - …`, because the message goes through `die`'s human branch. The diagnosis, the pair list, the stream (stderr only) and the exit code are unchanged; the message is `.rstrip("\n")`'d so `die`'s `print` does not add a blank line and the JSON `error` field does not end in noise.

### Step taken (test-first)
- Assertions written **before** the tool was touched — section R extended in `tests/test_repo_lint.sh`: **R9 rewritten** (it used to assert the *absence* of JSON, i.e. it passed for the defect) plus **R9b–R9g** (object on stdout with `ok false`/`exit 3`; names the broken pair; not a verdict — `failures`/`errors` empty, `sha_resolved` null; `go_compile`/`changelog_version` null; stderr clean in json mode; **key set identical to a normal run**), and a new argv-parity block **R13–R19**: one `_add_flags` copy ×2, the `--format=json` equals form, argparse's unique-prefix rule (`--form json`), `requested_sha` echoed for `--sha probe-r9` **on both readers** (the same expectation, two code paths), `--` termination (no JSON out; argparse itself → exit 2), an argv argparse rejects (refusal still the whole diagnosis, no `usage:` leak, stdout empty in human mode), and a guard that argparse still owns validation (`--format yaml` alone → 2).
- **Baseline verified first**: committed suite vs committed tool → **218/218**.
- **Pre-fix red captured with the FINAL suite** (suite md5 `b71b64db24d64fa65263e3867e45ba97`, tool md5 `d6b50e6dcf68df6dccb5a46dfe06e5a0`, log `/tmp/opencode/jsonrefuse/pre-fix.log`) → **230 passed / 12 failed**, in a **clone of the repo** (same reason as `[0.4.60]`: a copy outside `tools/` breaks section L's path checks). **Eleven are real**: **R9b, R9c, R9d, R9e, R9f, R9g** (one cause — stdout empty, refusal on stderr), **R13** (`_add_flags` does not exist yet), **R14b, R15b, R16b** (same empty-stdout cause), **M15's precondition unplantable** (the die()-routing line does not exist, so its five other assertions could not run — hence **242 counted pre-fix against 247 post-fix**). The twelfth, `L: live json structurally sound`, is the **clone artifact** again (`repo_root` is the clone, not `/data/repo`), disclosed rather than counted. **Guards that passed pre-fix and thereby identify themselves**: R1–R8, R10–R12b, R9/R14/R15/R16 (all still exit 3), **R15c** (argparse really does accept `--form`), **R16c/R16d** (the *healthy* tool already echoed `requested_sha: probe-r9` — the reference both readers must match), R17, R17c, R18, R18b, R19. **Three are vacuously green pre-fix and say so**: R17b, R18c and R18d pass because nothing was printed *at all* — with no scan in existence there was nothing to leak; they only start testing something once the scan exists.
- **Two first-draft defects of my own, caught by running it rather than by reading it**: (1) R9c's predicate was written as `'env:' -> 'Environment:' in (d.get('error') or '')` — `->` is not a Python operator, so the *checker* raised SyntaxError and the assertion went red for a reason unrelated to the tool. Requoted as a string literal; recorded because a red that means the wrong thing is the same trap this step exists for. (2) M15 was first planted with **only** the fix-revert (routing line → `sys.stderr.write`), no trigger: with a healthy docstring nothing refuses, so the mutant ran normally, exited **0** and "NOT caught". The mutation needs **both halves** for the same reason M14's does — the trigger makes the refusal happen, the revert makes its output wrong — and M14's entry already wrote that lesson down; I re-read it only after the mutant came out green.
- **Fix**: `_add_flags()` (the four options, one definition), `_pre_argparse()` (argparse-built, `redirect_stderr`-swallowed), `default_repo`/`_now`/`die` moved above the epilog build, `_refuse_empty_epilog` rewritten to `raise SystemExit(die(None, default_repo(), message, sha, fmt))`, imports `contextlib` + `io`, module docstring gained the "refusing is not the same as going silent" paragraph. → **247 passed / 0 failed** (**218 → 247**, **+29**); `bash -n` clean on the suite, `py_compile` clean on the tool.

### Mutation (1 new, on a copy — the real tool is never edited; precondition-asserted exactly once)
- **M15 — the machine channel dropped**: R's trigger (heading renamed) **in the same copy as** the fix reverted (`raise SystemExit(die(...))` → the bare `sys.stderr.write(message)` + `SystemExit(EXIT_CANNOT)`), i.e. `[0.4.60]`'s refusal output as it stood before this step.
- **Caught** by R9b (stdout empty again — "R9b is the assertion that can see a dropped machine channel"), with **every human assertion staying GREEN**: exit still 3, the pair still named on stderr, `--help` still refusing with an empty stdout — the surgical half, and the point: the old suite asserted the absence of JSON, so the defect *passed* it. **14 → 15.**

### Live (no restart, no deploy, no promote)
- `repo-lint --help` → exit 0, **103 lines** (unchanged: the new prose sits in a non-derived docstring paragraph, and the derived seven are byte-identical).
- Refusal, both channels, no tool state left behind (copy with `Environment:` renamed): human → `repo-lint: ERROR refusing to run - docstring section missing or empty (the epilog would print a label over nothing):` + `  'env:' -> 'Environment:'` → **exit 3**, stderr only; json → the full 15-key object with `ok false`, `exit_code 3`, `error` naming the pair, **stderr 0 bytes** → `| python3 -c 'json.load'` parses it (the exact consumer the queue described). `--format=json` → 3; `--form json` → 3; `-- --format json` → no JSON on stdout; `--format yaml` on the broken copy → refusal only, no `usage:`.
- `repo-lint --format json` (real HEAD) → **exit 0**, 170 files, 119 linted, `go_compile` ok (45 files), `changelog_version` `entries 65, unique 65, duplicates []`; `--sha probe-r9` → exit 3 with `requested_sha: probe-r9` (the R16 reference, live); `--format yaml` alone → exit 2 (argparse still owns validation).
- `tools/source-sync-check` → in sync (42 files, exit 0); `tools/system-status --format human` → **ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY**, exit 0 — only the standing warnings (SOA MNAME `mname=placeholder` NEEDS-INVESTOR, `promote-gates` refused because the reviewer mailbox is empty, `git-tree: 3 uncommitted changes` = this run's three files) plus `investor-messages [OK] 0 unread dev=0 prod=0`.

### Full regression (run after the code, before the doc appends)
- **37 suites, 2926 assertions, 0 failed** — 19 shell = **1968** (**+29** over 1939, exactly `test_repo_lint` 218 → 247, no other shell suite moved), 18 PHP = **958**, unmoved. Doc/contract suites after the appends: `test_repo_lint` **247/0**, `test_changelog_api` **86/0**, `test_app_version` **39/0**, `test_cli_version` **35/0**, `test_ts_ordering` **7/0**; `CHANGELOG.md` **66 headings, `sort | uniq -d` → 0** (tokens taken from `^## \[` only).

### Notes / docs
- **No new tool, no new gate, no new dashboard check** — one internal helper pair and a reorder inside an existing tool — so `tools/REGISTRY.md` gains no section and `system-status`'s "29 checks" is untouched. REGISTRY §repo-lint: the §JSON **"Open exception (queued)"** paragraph replaced by the resolved contract (including the one remaining no-object case — an argv argparse itself rejects, where the healthy tool also emits no object and exits 2), the exit-**3** bullet's "*emits no JSON — queued*" clause rewritten, a new **"The refusal is machine-readable too"** subsection (`_add_flags` single copy, `_pre_argparse`, the reorder, the `ERROR` prefix), **Section R** updated (R9's old "producing no JSON verdict" wording corrected — it pinned the defect — plus R13–R19), suite bullet **218 → 247**, **M15** in the mutation list (**14 → 15**), the `[0.4.61]` pre-fix replay, a refreshed live line, dependencies +`contextlib, io`, and the `**Status**` line → 247/247 + the 37-suite regression.
- **`[0.4.60]`'s queue item (1) struck and marked actioned** in place, recording that the queue's suggested `sys.argv` detection was rejected rather than implemented.

### Safety
- Model spend **0.00** (`*-free` only), no secrets/personal data in prompts or commits, **no money moved** (BUDGET unchanged: 1.50 spent / 3.50 remaining), **no DNS write** (no resolver queried this run), **no service restart**, **no promote** — `/opt/startup/{dev,prod}` untouched except the read-only STEP 0 queries; the message DBs were **read only** (0 unread, no reply owed); `/root/.pdns-token` never read; no `noreply@` sendmail invoked. Every mutation ran on a copy under the suite's sandbox; the pre-fix capture ran in a throwaway clone so `/data/repo` was never reverted even for a moment.
- **Staging discipline (deliberate deviation from `git add -A`)**: `git status --porcelain` showed **exactly this run's three files** (`tools/repo-lint`, `tests/test_repo_lint.sh`, `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`) with no other identity's WIP — staged **explicitly** rather than sweeping the tree other shifts work in.

### Queue (next-candidate, not actioned)
- **New (found by doing this step)**: when argparse *rejects the argv* the pre-scan returns defaults silently, so a refusal on `--format json --timeout abc` reports in **human** format — defensible (the healthy tool's own usage error has never produced a JSON object either, exit 2), but the refusal never mentions that the argv was *also* invalid, so the operator loses one diagnosis while the tool's own rule says the refusal must be the whole. Deciding whether to append an "argv also rejected: …" clause needs the swallowed text surfaced without reprinting argparse's usage block.
- **Carried from `[0.4.60]` (contrast)**: `app.php`'s chat-header links put accent TEXT on the card surface at 3.55:1 (four documents) — same split-token fix as `[0.4.58]`, its own step.
- **Carried from `[0.4.47]` (3)**: `minmax(300px, 1fr)` / `minmax(280px, 1fr)` grids can overflow a 320 px viewport (the min track is wider than the narrowest supported width).
- **Carried from `[0.4.54]` (2)**: `ship-tree` names the first offending path but not *why* it is there (stray editor file vs a real new source file awaiting `git add`).
- **Carried from `[0.4.54]` (3)**: `--ignored` makes `git status` walk ignored content; a large ignored build dir under `app/src/php` would cost the 30 s `GLADEX_SHIP_TIMEOUT` on every promote *and* every dashboard row.
- **Carried from `[0.4.54]` (4)**: the `promote-gates` age re-ages on every dashboard run (needs a refusal moment no field carries).
- **Carried (investor-owned)**: NEEDS-INVESTOR **#57 public investor-route gating A/B/C** and **SOA MNAME** (`a.misconfigured.dns.server.invalid.` — `system-status` reports `mname=placeholder`) — surfaced as a warning by `system-status` on every run, cannot proceed unilaterally.

### Placement (deliberate — same as `[0.4.29]`–`[0.4.60]` which sit immediately above this one)
Parked at the bottom of an otherwise newest-first file on purpose: promoting it to the top would make it the version-train head while `GLADEX_APP_VERSION` and all four `gladex` binaries still report `0.4.28`, turning `tests/test_app_version` and `tests/test_cli_version` red until CI bumps the train. That bump is main-loop work and is not part of this fix.
