//! `termaxa doctor` — the onboarding hub.
//!
//! Answers one question: **is Termaxa actually going to see my agent's
//! commands?** That question has a surprising number of ways to be "no"
//! (no policy, hook not installed, agent not restarted, dialect drift), and
//! until now the only way to find out was to run a destructive command and
//! see whether anything happened.
//!
//! Honesty rules, same as everywhere else:
//!   * We report what we can verify from the filesystem and PATH. We do NOT
//!     claim the hook *fires* — only that it is configured. Whether the agent
//!     honours it is the agent's business, and `termaxa log` is the proof.
//!   * Absence is stated plainly, with the exact command that fixes it.
//!   * No network calls. No version check phoning home.
