Add the artifact command: the plumbing window over the one parser

zit artifact HASH [--raw] — zit's cat-file/whatis. No flag: a whatis summary (hash, structural type per artifact 5.1/5.3, size, one line per A..W card in stored order, and the 6.2 Z self-checksum verdict). A blob reports type file, size, and binary-or-not. --raw emits the verbatim stored bytes. Resolves a 4-64 hex prefix over the LogStore (ambiguous -> exit 1), reads via the existing 7.2 blob path. Everything shown comes from the ONE existing artifact parser — refactored into frameNoZ/frame/assemble with a Z-tolerant parseWindow — never a CLI-side re-parse. 1649 unit + 335 e2e (13 new B-artifact) green; fmt clean. check-in: f477c3bf19 user: dmestas tags: cli

Add the amend command: mint display-metadata tags, never rewrite history

zit amend NAME [--comment TEXT] [--user NAME] [--date ISO] [--branch NAME] mints ONE control artifact whose T cards change how the target check-in displays — comment, user, date, and the repo-state 6.2 branch-move set — retargeted at the check-in hash, never '*'. History stays append-only: the original manifest is untouched and a new control artifact is crosslinked in (artifact 4.7.16 T / 4.7.5 D / 4.7.17 U / 4.7.19 Z; repo-state 4/5 crosslink, 5 tag propagation). Display is honored through a new general RepoState.activeTagValue / Repository.override consumed by timeline and info.

Also removes amend from the git-reflex rejection table: teaching against fossil-semantics amend with the immutability lesson conflated it with git's history-rewriting amend — amend is in fact the proof of zit's immutability, not a violation. 1643 unit + 322 e2e (15 new B-amend) green; fmt clean. check-in: 6c6d1babc2 user: dmestas tags: cli

Resume the cli integration branch at trunk c2c837c5

The prior cli leaf was a closed integration point from before the recent slice; this reopens cli development at current trunk (timeline, mv, undo/redo, extras, clean, merge all present). The next verb slice — bisect, annotate, amend, artifact, addremove per the VCS verb survey — builds here and converges on cli, then one merge cli -> trunk. check-in: 9b5605ad79 user: dmestas tags: cli
