-> **Built and unreleased**, as of 2026-08-10. Everything in this section is in no image you can pull:
-> `docs/published-surface.json` records `0.1.0a8`, and these routes are items 203 to 208. Until a
-> release carries them, the CLI below is the whole of it — and this note stays, because the rule is

-> Written down rather than deleted because the guard that catches this **cannot see it**: it compares
-> documented *commands* against the published image and knows nothing about URLs, so a route
-> documented before it exists passes every test. Recorded as work item 209.
