contents We systematically investigate the production of $J/ψ+ γ$ in $γγ$ collisions within nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization, with the direct-photon channel calculated specifically up to the next-to-leading order in $α_s$. Calculations for CEPC energy region show the resolved photon contribution is negligible, while the direct photon process dominates, yielding substantial annual $J/ψ$ yields. Significant modifications to $J/ψ$ polarization parameters emerge from color-octet mechanisms, and different NRQCD long distance matrix elements (LDMEs) further yield distinct polarization patterns. Furthermore, the polarization predictions are highly sensitive to the $^3P_J^{[8]}$ LDME, while being insensitive to the $^1S_0^{[8]}$ and $^3S_1^{[8]}$ LDMEs. Leveraging the cleaner environment of $e^+e^-$ collisions versus hadronic processes, the production of $J/ψ$ associated with a photon in $γγ$ collisions provides a high-precision platform to test LDMEs universality and resolve longstanding $J/ψ$ polarization puzzles.
