+// Provides jq-equivalent operations for hooks when jq is not installed.
+// SECURITY: This is a local CLI helper invoked only by shell hooks with controlled arguments.
+// File path arguments come from hook-owned variables, not from external/untrusted input.
+// Usage: node json-helper.cjs <operation> [args...]
+//
+// Operations:
+//   get-field <field> [default]           Read field from stdin JSON
+//   get-field-file <file> <field> [def]   Read field from JSON file
+//   validate                              Exit 0 if stdin is valid JSON, 1 otherwise
+//   compact                               Compact stdin JSON to single line
+//   construct <json-template> [--arg k v] Build JSON object with args
+//   update-field <field> <value> [--json] Set field on stdin JSON (--json parses value)
+//   update-fields <json-patches>          Apply multiple field updates from stdin JSON
+//   extract-cwd-field <field>             Extract cwd + arbitrary field, SOH-byte delimited
+//   extract-text-messages                 Extract text content from Claude message format
+//   merge-evidence                        Flatten, dedupe, limit to 10 from stdin JSON
+//   slurp-sort <file> <field> [limit]     Read JSONL, sort by field desc, limit results
+//   slurp-cap <file> <field> <limit>      Read JSONL, sort by field desc, output limit lines
+//   array-length <path>                   Get length of array at dotted path in stdin JSON
+//   array-item <path> <index>             Get item at index from array at path in stdin JSON
+//   session-output <context>              Build SessionStart output envelope
+//   prompt-output <context>               Build UserPromptSubmit output envelope
+//   backup-construct                      Build pre-compact backup JSON from --arg pairs
+//   assign-anchor <type> <obs_id>         Claim next ADR/PF number, render both .md files
+//   retire-anchor <anchor_id> <status>    Flip ledger row status, re-render both .md files
+//   rotate-observations [<log>] [<arch>]  Archive observing rows older than 30 days
