nvrlandClaude Opus 4.8 a6a925667a add --json output to the query commands
Scripts and health checks had to scrape formatted text, which changes whenever
the display does.

--json is global and applies to status, ls, pins, sync list, devices list,
transfers, activity, and cache inspect. Action commands keep their human
output; a script that needs to know whether one worked has the exit code.

Two decisions worth recording:

The daemon's own reply is serialized rather than a hand-built parallel
structure, so new fields reach the JSON without anyone remembering to add them
-- but the variant tag is stripped first. Serializing CtlResponse directly
yields {"SyncFolders": {"items": [...]}}, which would make every caller write
jq '.SyncFolders.items[]' and couple it to the name of an internal enum
variant. Callers get {"items": [...]}.

A daemon-side error prints its payload and then fails the command. The first
cut exited 0 after printing the error body, which was caught by running
`pdfs --json ls NoSuchFolder`: a script would have read a failed lookup as
success. The body is still emitted so `kind` is available, but the exit code
is what `set -e` and `if pdfs ...` actually test.

status composes its object by hand instead, being the one query that merges
the local keyring with the daemon -- including the logged-in-but-no-daemon
case, which has no daemon reply to pass through at all.
