 | Command | What it does |
 |---|---|
 | `init` | Registers this directory as a project, creates a default `taste.md`, and can store `--live-migrations-dir` or `--in-repo-taste`. |
-| `taste` | Prints the active taste file path. Add `--interview` to have an agent author it, `--refine` to iteratively improve an existing taste doc, `--upgrade` to refresh stale taste dimensions, `--global` for the shared file, and `--force` to let `--interview` overwrite custom content after writing a `.bak`. |

Active agent modes require `--with` and `--model`, then run at fixed `medium` effort. |
 | `run-once` | Single pass on one resolved target. No retry. If there is a diff and validation passes, it commits locally and prints the diffstat. |
 | `run` | The loop. Iterates refactor actions, retries on failure, and commits successful changes locally. Add `--focus-on-live-migrations` to bypass targeting and work only on eligible live migrations. |
 | `upgrade` | Checks that the global config manifest is current, rewrites it idempotently, and warns if the global taste file is stale. |
-| `migration list` | Lists visible migrations. Add `--status <status>` or `--awaiting-review` to filter. |
+| `migration list` | Lists visible migrations as TSV with headers. Add `--status <status>` or `--awaiting-review` to filter, or `--no-headers` for parsing. |
 | `migration doctor <slug-or-path>` | Validates one visible migration's consistency. |
 | `migration doctor --all` | Validates every visible migration plus internal transaction state. |
-| `migration review <slug-or-path>` | Starts staged review for a migration awaiting human review. Requires `--with`, `--model`, and `--effort`. |
-| `migration refine <slug-or-path>` | Records feedback for a planning or unexecuted ready migration and runs one staged planning revision. Requires `--message <text>` or `--file <path>`, plus `--with`, `--model`, and `--effort`; add `--show-agent-logs` to mirror the planning agent. |
