+/**
+ * headless-uok-status.ts — `sf headless status uok`
+ *
+ * Purpose: expose UOK gate health (recent outcomes, circuit breaker states,
+ * failure streaks) via the headless CLI so operators can inspect autonomous
+ * reliability without digging through DB or log files.
+ *
+ * Consumer: headless.ts when command === "status" && commandArgs[0] === "uok"
