Owner feedback: grep match-highlighting made the word 'policy' red while
status words were plain - counter-indicative. Suites + verify now emit
ANSI colors (green success, red failure) when stdout is a terminal;
piped/machine-parsed output stays plain, honoring NO_COLOR. Word 'ok'
promoted to 'OK' for scannability.
Verified byte-level via forced-pty run; piped output unchanged; suites
41/24/14 + verify green.
14 cases: RELEASE validation (valid/invalid/missing), tag consistency,
status on empty state, fault-injected refusal with no pointer + single
valid refusal log line, healthy activation, pointer fields, repeat
activation append-only log, rollback-without-previous refusal.
Harness fix learned the hard way: restore RELEASE from backup inline
after the missing-file case (mv-back restored the mutated file); single
exit trap self-heals the repo state.
Closes#12
