//! `rk status`: a target describes itself from its own disk.
//!
//! Read-only and offline: the receipt supplies what landed, this binary's
//! projection supplies what an upgrade would offer, the embedded registry
//! supplies the pin comparison, and no network is ever touched: a fetch
//! is a way for a status command to hang, fail on a network it should not
//! need, or leak a repository's existence. Status compares the current
//! target with this binary's projection and the receipt and nothing else;
//! it reads no stage and resolves no other release. Plain `rk status`
//! reports and exits 0 for every reportable state, drift and no-landing
//! included; `--check` computes the identical report and changes only
//! the final judgment, the one sanctioned bare exit 1.
