Publish the stdin envelope and name the refusal

Two stdin commands carried no shape. task change --help and phase settle --help listed only their flags, and a decode refusal named one missing field
per call, so the only way to learn an envelope was to send it repeatedly and
read the refusals. Observed sessions did exactly that: one read the help, got
nothing, and spent five calls collecting field names one at a time.

Each envelope now owns one canonical shape beside its type. The help prints it
and a decode refusal carries it as explicit details, so one call answers what
five answered before. A test decodes both shapes into their own types, so a
documented envelope that stops being valid input fails the guard.

The finish fact also names its refusal code. Exit status alone could not
separate a rejected envelope from a stale revision, which left the audit record
unable to explain its own failures without reading agent transcripts.
