+/**
+ * `skitterspec-jira spec-sync <sub>` — the Jira provider's engine CLI.
+ *
+ * Built on the provider kit: spec resolution, transport precedence, the flag
+ * parser with its unknown-flag refusal, the credentials prompts and the apply
+ * orchestration are all shared machinery; what this file owns is Jira's — the
+ * status-by-transition ops, the JQL, the config file it names in refusals,
+ * and which operations the MCP transport cannot express.
+ *
+ * Exit-code semantics mirror the Linear provider's table: `ref` prints the
+ * bare identifier on stdout ONLY on success (so `$(spec-sync ref)` cannot
+ * splice an error into a commit body); `verify` warns and never fails on
+ * losses; `preserve` exits 0 on every cannot-tell; dry-runs are the default
+ * wherever a write exists; an unknown `--flag` refuses before anything runs.
