feat(cli): redesign help across command tree#53
Merged
Conversation
Replace Citty's default help panels with a shared renderer for the root command and every nested command. The previous output was flat, inconsistent between root and subcommands, and fragile across terminal widths. Derive command listings from command metadata, including platform/ingest/query groups and hidden-command filtering. Render Usage, Arguments, Options, Commands, guidance, and Examples consistently with responsive hanging indentation, existing terminal styles, command highlighting, aliases, enum hints, required/default annotations, and narrow-terminal wrapping. Keep command-specific examples and active-context behavior intact while removing the Citty usage renderer entirely. Add focused coverage for grouped root help, nested panels, responsive wrapping, hidden commands, and command-colored guidance.

The CLI help previously relied on Citty’s flat layout, making command discovery difficult and producing inconsistent wrapping across terminals.
The renderer now:
