Universal flags

  • -h, --help — usage with an example (every command).

  • --help-recursive — flatten help for all subcommands (top level).

  • --json — machine-readable output on every data-reading command.

  • -V, --version — print scitex-cards/X.Y.Z.

Every command resolves the store the same way, and there is ONE store identity: --store → $SCITEX_CARDS_DB (PostgreSQL on 55432). Nothing else — unset raises. No second-engine tier, no project scope, no bundled-example fallback.
