 An unknown value is rejected before the file is read. The process exits `5`,
 writes nothing to stdout, and prints one stderr line that names the value and
 lists the valid ones:
 
 ```text
-error: unknown --format "html" (expected md, text, json)
+error: unknown --format "sarif" (expected md, text, json, html)
 ```
 
 The comparison is exact. `HTML`, `sarif`, and `md ` are unknown. Omitting
 `--format` stays on `text`.
 
+`md`, `text`, and `json` are unchanged. `html` writes one self-contained page
+from that same artifact. It does not call the network and does not load
+external files. The page opens with a summary:
+
+- DriftScore and the four component scores. A missing score is `n/a`. A measured `0` stays `0`.
+- Counts by severity for vulnerability findings and for security findings. A check that did not run stays "Not scanned" rather than a row of zeros. A check that finished with nothing to report shows zeros.
+- When a finding carries `details.fixedVersions`, how many of those findings name a fix.
+- Links to the full tables under the summary: vulnerabilities, security findings, and the other findings.
+
+The same artifact always produces the same page. Save it with a shell redirect:
+
+```bash
+vg report --format html > report.html
+```

@@ -579,10 +600,11 @@ When set:
 - DriftScore: Markdown puts the lower-is-better gloss in the opening cell. Text puts the score in **DriftScore Summary** without that gloss.
 - VCS: Markdown uses separate VCS, Branch, and Commit rows, and Commit requires `vcs.sha`. Text uses one line and can show `shortSha` without requiring `sha`.
 - Runtime wording: Markdown always says `major(s)`. Text says `major` or `majors`.
+- HTML is the browser page: the summary above, then the vulnerability, security, and other-finding tables. It does not print Markdown's recommended-standards section or the text inventory.
 
 ##### JSON
