+
+CI:
+  ci last-green [--json]  The newest first-parent commit of ci.green's branch
+                        with a ci/green tag and no ci/revoked tag. Reads local
+                        tags only; fetch them first.
+  ci tick [--dry-run] [--forge github]  Tag each commit within ci.green's
+                        window whose required phases all passed ci/green/<sha>,
+                        and revoke a green one that now fails ci/revoked/<sha>.
+                        Reads check runs from the forge, pushes the tags.
+  ci workflow [--workflow <name>]... [--output <file>]  Write

+                        .github/workflows/chant-ci-green.yml, which runs the
+                        tick when a required workflow completes and every 15m.
+                        --chant replaces the npx @intentius/chant pin the tick
+                        runs; --install adds a step before it. --token-secret,
+                        or a GitHub App's id and key, pushes the tags with a
+                        token that may tag commits changing workflow files.
+
+Change sets:
+  change-set summary <file>  The grouped plan summary of a change-set
+                        [--format text|json|markdown]  document: members taking
+                        [--limit <chars>]  the same change grouped, every destroy,
+                                          replacement, failure and hole named.
+                                          markdown fits an MR/PR note of --limit
+                                          characters (default 65536). Read-only.
+
+Ops:
+  run <name>            Run an Op on the resolved runtime (--on; local by default)
+                        [--work <id>] [--holder <name>]: the work item an Op
+                        with a work lease runs under, and who holds it
+                        --fail-on-drift: exit 2 when the run completes and
+                        its Drift outcome is true (WatchOp failOn: "drift")
+  run list              List all Ops with the runtime's state for each
+  run status <name>     Show the runtime's state for one Op's latest run
+  run approve <op> <gate>  Record a gate's resolution and wake the runtime
+  run cancel <name>     Cancel the active run (requires --force)
+  run log <name>        Show run history for an Op
+  run wave --spec <file> --wave <k>  Plan, gate and apply wave k of an Op
+                        waves spec (#3679): the job a generated waves
+                        pipeline runs. --decide plans and decides only;

+                        digests a pr-review approval mode compares
+  run resume [--op <name>] [--gate <name>]  Start again each CI job that
+                        waits at a gate an approval now answers, through the
+                        forge's API (#3683); approves nothing. --gate resumes
+                        that gate's job alone (#3854). Skips an approval a
+                        wave already applied under; restarts an apply that
+                        stopped once its run is gone (#3858). --dry-run
+                        starts nothing; with --json it says per gate whether
+                        it would resume and why
+  run --generate <provider>  Write one CI pipeline file per scheduled Op for
+                        github, gitlab or forgejo (#2533), from every Op that
+                        declares a schedule or from --spec <file.json>.
+                        Files go to the forge's own directory unless
+                        --output <dir>; --format json prints them instead

+                        driver on the local executor (--env <env>; #585).
+                        On success, auto-emits a release-ledger record per
+                        component that published a digest (default: on;

+                        --progress-json: stream one NDJSON RunProgressEvent
+                        per line to stdout while the run executes, for a

+                        lease (git ref CAS), tick on --interval, record every

+                        environment; --interval <dur> (default 60s) and
+                        --lease-ttl <dur> (default 5m) tune cadence; --once
+                        runs a single round and exits (cron/systemd-timer/
+                        CronJob invokers use this instead of the daemon).
+                        --steward [<name>] runs a declared steward's local
+                        form instead (#2731): its scheduled Ops on their
+                        crons, under the steward's own lease, and its

+  operator log           Converge tick history and the gate resolutions

+                        --json also carries the count of ledger lines that
+                        were unreadable, so a short timeline is never
+                        silently short
+  approve <op> <gate>    Record a gate's out-of-band resolution fact
+                        (--actor <name>, --note <text>, --url <url>) — the
+                        durable counterpart to the pending fact a run records
+                        when it reaches the gate; see the pending-gates list
+                        in operator status. --url is the PR/MR the resolution
+                        happened at, recorded typed rather than as free text,
+                        and defaults to the PR/MR of the surrounding CI job.
+                        The next "chant run <op>" walks through the gate.
+                        --expire clears a pending fact without approving it,
+                        so the gate is re-decided from scratch next run.
+                        --sign [<key file>] seals the approval with an ssh
+                        key; a gate the workspace's identity.gates names
+                        counts only an approval sealed by a key the signers

+                        --resume then starts the CI job that waits at the

+  --fold                (build) Fold source modules statically instead of

+                        over a chant.config.ts \`build.fold: false\`.
+  --no-fold             (build) Opt out of folding for this invocation: every

+                        behavior. Beats chant.config.ts's build.fold.
+  --fold-rank [<path>]  (build, with --fold) Rank run-mode files by dominator
+                        retained-count over the forward import-failure graph
+                        (#1083) — fixing the top blocker unblocks the most

+                        (#1044) are reported separately, never folded into
+                        the ranking. With a path argument, also writes a
+                        Brendan Gregg collapsed-format export (weighted by
+                        retained count) there, for any flame/icicle viewer.
+  --sandbox             (build) Run run-fallback source files (or every
+                        file, without --fold) together, isolated, in one
+                        sandboxed child process instead of in-process
+                        (#1045). No filesystem write, no child process, no
+                        worker threads, no ambient environment visible to
+                        project source; network egress is NOT blocked (see
+                        docs). Default: off (also settable via
+                        chant.config.ts's build.sandbox: true; #1045)
+  --param <name=value>  (build, graph, run --components, components fan-out,
+                        components promote, components rollback,
+                        components redeploy) Bind a
+                        declared build-time parameter (chant.config.ts's buildParams)
+                        to a value, for source to read as params.<name>
+                        (#1064) instead of process.env — repeatable.
+                        Distinct from the AWS lexicon's deploy-time
+                        Parameter(): this resolves before synthesis, so it
+                        can change which resources are produced at all.
+                        Highest precedence. With init --from, it sets a
+                        template parameter that the template's
+                        chant.template.json declares instead (#2627).
+  --params-file <path>  (build, graph, run --components, components fan-out,
+                        components promote, components rollback,
+                        components redeploy) JSON file
+                        of { "name": value } build-time parameter values
+                        (#1064). Second precedence, after --param.
+                        init --from refuses it: pass --param instead.
