+ * Visual question server: present a decision to the user as a themed page
+ * instead of a plain-text prompt, then block until they answer.
+ *
+ * The script IS the wait: run it via the shell, it serves the page, prints
+ * the URL (and tries to open the default browser), and does not exit until
+ * the user chooses. The answer lands on stdout as one line:
+ *
+ *   ANSWER: {"optionId":"...","steer":"..."}
+ *
+ * Exit codes: 0 answered · 2 timed out, closed without answering, or no
+ * browser is available (IMPECCABLE_QUESTION_DISABLED, or a detected
+ * CI/headless/remote environment; IMPECCABLE_QUESTION_FORCE=1 overrides
+ * detection, --no-open skips it since the caller opens the URL itself).
+ *
+ * Payload (JSON file via --payload, or stdin):
+ * {
+ *   "title": "Choose the visual world",
+ *   "question": "The roll assigned Fillmore Handbill. Keep it, take an alternate, or re-roll.",
+ *   "options": [
+ *     {
+ *       "id": "assigned",                  // returned verbatim

+ *       "materials": ["letterpress", "newsprint"],                // optional, rendered as tags

+ *       "board": "https://... or /abs/path.webp"   // optional secondary image
+ *     }, ...
+ *   ],
+ *   "reroll": true,          // adds a re-roll action (returns {"optionId":"reroll"})
+ *   "canon": true,           // adds the "Play it straight" standing exit;
+ *                            // direction rounds only (returns {"optionId":"canon"})
+ *   "canonCard": { ... },    // optional: the standing exit as a full card with the
+ *                            // same anatomy (label, thesis, palette, sketch, ...);
+ *                            // rendered last and visually subordinate. Without it,

+ *   "steer": true            // adds a free-text steer field returned with any answer
+ * }
+ *
+ * Options render as large cards: the sketch leads when present, with the
+ * inspiration image picture-in-picture; a hero alone renders full-bleed; a
+ * text-only direction gets its identity from the palette chips and tags.
+ * Local image paths are served by this server; nothing is uploaded anywhere.
+ *
+ * Modes:
+ *   (default)  block until answered; ANSWER on stdout; exit 0.
+ *   --schema   print the canonical payload example and exit.
+ *   --start    for harnesses that cannot leave a shell blocked: daemonize the
+ *              server, print QUESTION URL + QUESTION KEY, exit immediately.
+ *              Never auto-opens a browser: the agent routes the URL to the
+ *              best surface it has (in-app browser first, then the system
+ *              opener); pass --open to force the system browser instead.
+ *   --wait --key K [--poll 60]   poll for the answer: exit 0 + ANSWER line,
+ *              exit 3 WAITING (run --wait again), exit 2 server gone,
+ *              exit 4 PAGE CLOSED (the tab went away without an answer;
+ *              re-present, reopen the URL, or fall back).
+ *   --stop --key K               kill a daemonized question.
+ *   --update --key K --payload F deliver the next hand after a re-roll: the
+ *              live page swaps to loading cards when the user re-rolls, and
+ *              reloads into this new payload the moment it lands.
