 `--fix` applies fixes as RFC 6902 patches to `package.json`. A chokepoint guard means a fix can only remove, repin, move, or relocate an existing override; it can never invent a new override key. Suggest-only findings (OA004 cross-major, OA005.d/.e, all of OA008) and "proposed" fixes (the OA006 relocate floor) carry no auto-applied patch and are surfaced as recommendations. `--fail-on <severity>` sets the minimum severity that makes the command exit non-zero (default: `critical`).

 Dependency overrides are security patches you apply manually when a vulnerable transitive package is not yet fixed upstream. They work - but they accumulate debt silently over time. The package gets updated, the CVE gets fixed, the override stays. Or worse: the override was never effective to begin with, and your project has been exposed the entire time without knowing it.

 `--fix` surfaces a recommendation rather than applying it automatically. If the parent already has an override, it repins that to a `>=<parent-installed-version>` floor; if not, it relocates - retires the binary override and adds a parent dependency floor (an upgrade path), never a new override key. Because the floor is inferred from the installed tree, it is surfaced for review rather than auto-applied.
