Summary
Eliminate drift between accepted flags/subcommands, usage grammar, next-step suggestions, and generated shell completions.
Current v1.38.0 evidence / reproduction
--strict-not-found is accepted by excerpt/inspect but absent from command help and flag help.
index --help omits accepted --parallelism and --no-progress flags.
deps results recommend accepted --suppress-noise, --symbol, and --symbol-family flags that deps --help does not list.
- Search Usage makes recipe-only
--include-query appear applicable to named queries.
- Zsh completion omits
workspace clear and workspace deactivate, both present in help.
Impact
Users cannot discover supported controls and can construct invalid commands from authoritative-looking help.
Suggested direction / acceptance criteria
- Model per-command flags, exclusivity, usage forms, and subcommands in one schema.
- Generate help, usage, next-step flags, and shell completion from that schema.
- Add a consistency test comparing parser acceptance with rendered help/completion inventories.
Additional consolidated evidence
status --json exposes sqlite_connection_policy, but status --explain sqlite_connection_policy --json rejects that field even though it is an operator-facing readiness and risk contract.
Additional acceptance criterion
- Generate the status explain registry from the same metadata as emitted status fields, including
sqlite_connection_policy.
