+- **Asimmetria exit-code JSON in `check orphans` e `check assets`.** Entrambi i comandi
+  ora distinguono la severità `error` da `warning` prima di decidere il codice di uscita,
+  in modo coerente con `check references` e `check snippets`. In precedenza, qualsiasi
+  finding (inclusi i warning) attivava Exit 1 in modalità JSON.
