Every Go-implemented plugin's `:report --format json` now emits keys without the redundant `<plugin>-` head segment, matching the shape bash plugins have always emitted. The CLI flag names and `:set` semantics are unchanged. For backwards compatibility during the 0.38.x patch series, the legacy `<plugin>-<property>` keys are emitted side-by-side with the new keys, and a future major release will drop the legacy keys. `common.ReportSingleApp` is refactored to accept a `ReportSingleAppInput` struct with a `Validate()` method so the input is checked before any work runs, which also catches the latent `"docker options"` reportType bug at the API boundary.
The `<plugin>-global-<property>` keys in `:report` output returned the resolved value with the built-in default substituted in, so external tooling could not distinguish a property that had been set globally to the default from one that had never been set. The bare keys for caddy, haproxy, and traefik global-only properties had the same shape. The `global-<property>` keys now hold the raw stored value and are empty when nothing has been set, and a new `computed-<property>` key holds the effective value used at runtime, falling back through the per-app value (where one exists), the global value, and the built-in default. The bare global-only keys for the three proxy plugins are removed in favor of the raw/computed pair. Closes#8631.
The property name set via `app-json:set` is `appjson-path`, but the matching read-back flags on `app-json:report` were named `--app-json-selected`, `--app-json-global-selected`, and `--app-json-computed-selected`. The mismatch meant `dokku app-json:report <app> --app-json-appjson-path` (the form already documented in deployment-tasks.md) was rejected as an invalid flag, and the `--format json` output advertised keys that did not correspond to any settable property. The flags and JSON keys are renamed to `--app-json-appjson-path`, `--app-json-global-appjson-path`, and `--app-json-computed-appjson-path` so that the property name round-trips through set and report.
Every `:report` subcommand now recognizes `--global` as a scope selector that limits the report to globally-configured properties, including in JSON form via `--global --format json`. Previously this combination was rejected because `--global` was treated as an info flag, conflicting with `--format`. The shared `common.ParseReportArgs` helper now returns a `ReportArgs` struct exposing the parsed scope; each Go and bash report selects a global-only flag map when scope is global, and skips per-app verification.
