"""updatesctl - what to do next to bring this machine up to date.
Prints one JSON document for the drawer's updates module, with every pending
update already sorted into the action it needs. The sections and the reasons
for them are in docs/superpowers/specs/2026-10-15-updates-design.md.
updatesctl from the last nvchecker results
updatesctl --refresh run nvchecker first
UPDATESCTL_ROOT prefixes every system path and HOME roots the user's, so the
test can point both at a fixture tree.
