+Run by `preman eval target` as

+    uv run --no-project --with libcst python decorate_tools.py --repo ROOT --plan PLAN.json
+
+PLAN.json is {"tools": [{"file", "symbol", "tool_name"}]}. Prints one JSON
+object on stdout and never writes a file: the CLI shows the diff, asks, and
+writes. The same plan on the same files always gives the same bytes
+(docs/superpowers/specs/2026-10-04-tool-decorators-design.md §6.1).
+
+Nothing is added to the customer's dependencies: each edited file gets a
+guarded import whose fallback decorates with nothing, so the code runs
+unchanged wherever PreMan's recorder is not importable (everywhere but an eval).
