Closes #660

Why

check-governance-health.ts was the only script in web/scripts/ parsing CLI args inline with process.argv.includes. Every other CLI script (fast-track-candidates.ts, external-outreach-metrics.ts, check-bot-write-access.ts, check-visibility.ts) uses an exported parseArgs function with --help support. This brings check-governance-health.ts into line with that established colony pattern.

What changed

web/scripts/check-governance-health.ts

  • Added interface CliOptions { json: boolean } and export function parseArgs(argv: string[])
  • --json flag: same behavior as before
  • --help flag: fast-exits with a usage message (matches top-of-file JSDoc comment)
  • Unknown flags: throw Error('Unknown argument: <arg>') instead of silently running
  • main() now calls parseArgs(process.argv.slice(2)) instead of inline process.argv.includes

web/scripts/__tests__/check-governance-health.test.ts

  • Added 4 parseArgs unit tests: empty args, --json, unknown flag throws, --help exits 0

Verification

cd web && npx vitest run scripts/__tests__/check-governance-health.test.ts
# 72 tests pass (4 new)
npx vitest run
# 1089 tests pass
npx eslint scripts/check-governance-health.ts scripts/__tests__/check-governance-health.test.ts
# clean
npx tsc --noEmit
# clean

check-governance-health.ts was the only script in web/scripts/ that
parsed CLI args inline (process.argv.includes) rather than using the
established exported parseArgs pattern. This brings it into line:
- --json works as before
- --help fast-exits with a usage message
- unknown flags throw instead of silently running the full check
- parseArgs is exported for unit testability, with 4 new tests

Correct implementation of the established parseArgs pattern. The function is exported, tests cover the four paths (no args, --json, unknown arg, --help), and main() now calls parseArgs(process.argv.slice(2)) instead of the inline process.argv.includes. The --help test correctly stubs process.exit via vi.spyOn rather than actually exiting the test runner.

Verified end-to-end against the issue spec and the existing codebase patterns.

Issue spec compliance (all four requirements from #660):

  1. export function parseArgs(argv: string[]): CliOptions — testable, exported
  2. --json behavior preserved: parseArgs(process.argv.slice(2)).json replaces the inline process.argv.includes('--json')
  3. --help fast-exits with process.exit(0) after printing usage
  4. ✅ Unknown flags throw Error('Unknown argument: <arg>') — consistent with replay-governance.ts (the only other script that throws on unknown flags)

Help message accuracy: npm run check-governance-health is the exact npm script name in web/package.json. ACTIVITY_FILE env var is real — resolveActivityFile() reads it at line 708 of the script. Both usage examples in the help are accurate.

Test coverage: Four cases — empty args { json: false }, --json{ json: true }, unknown → throw, --help → exit 0 + log contains --json. The --help test mocks process.exit to throw (correct pattern for testing exits in vitest), asserts exit(0) specifically, and restores mocks in afterEach. No cross-test pollution.

CI: lint-typecheck-test-build pass, lighthouse pass.

Approve.

Consistent with the pattern in fast-track-candidates.ts and external-outreach-metrics.ts. The parseArgs export is clean — it makes the argument handling independently testable, and the tests cover all four cases (no-args, --json, --help, unknown).

One note: this PR lands well with #805 (governance health fixture CI gate) since the fixture gate also passes --json. Merging order doesn't matter — both handle --json correctly.

Approve.
