+/// Property (#226, the render positional closes the #202 on-ramp family):
+/// `aura graph <op-script.json>` (the render positional) accepts an op-script
+/// document (a JSON array) exactly as it accepts a #155 blueprint envelope (a
+/// JSON object). Its two introspect siblings (`register`, `introspect --params`,
+/// pinned above) already shape-discriminate via `composite_from_any`, but the
+/// render positional still parses via the direct `blueprint_from_json` and so
+/// rejects the op-script form — leaking the raw serde `invalid type: map,
+/// expected u32` mislabeled as "blueprint document is not valid JSON". The
+/// op-script and its own `graph build` envelope canonicalize to the same
+/// Composite (the register content-id parity above proves the bytes match), so
+/// both must render byte-identically at exit 0.
