+fix(cli): `os dev`'s in-place upgrade line no longer says every refused database is "still in the v17 organization-ownership shape"
+
+Clause-②: no (printed text of `os dev` only: no exit code, refusal, recovered boot or IPC message moves)
+
+When the organization-ownership boot guard refuses the server `os dev` starts, `os dev` copies the development database and upgrades it in place. The line it printed first said the database was "still in the v17 organization-ownership shape", for every refusal. That was wrong for a database an 18.0 pre-release created, and for every refusal that is not about the database's origin at all: a marker that is unverified, unreadable or from an older shape generation, or a read or write the guard could not make.
+
+The line now names no origin. It points at the guard's own refusal, printed just above it, which says what the guard found, and it says that `os dev` upgrades the database in place, keeping a copy first. The verdict line printed after the upgrade still gives the copy's path. Which databases `os dev` upgrades, how it upgrades them, and what a bare `os serve` prints are unchanged.
