fix: refresh_stale --dry-run honours --json

--dry-run printed its text plan and returned before --json was read,
so a caller parsing the output as JSON failed. With both flags the plan
is printed as JSON: planned jobs with their commands and follow-ups,
the rows left to a human, and the count ignored.
