v1.20.1 — Aliases Stop Hiding from --help

Three small post-v1.20 carryovers, none of which deserve a minor bump on their own. Bundled.

🆔 Existing Aliases Now Visible

When sq identify shipped in v1.20 with the id alias, it surfaced in sq --help as [aliases: id]. The older aliases — stat for status, inv for inventory, wear for equip, unequip for remove — were hidden (functional but undocumented in --help). New players couldn't discover them without hunting through sq help.

All five aliases are now visible in sq --help:

  status      View your character sheet (includes inventory) [aliases: stat]
  inventory   Check your inventory [aliases: inv]
  equip       Equip armor or ring from inventory [aliases: wear]
  remove      Remove equipped weapon, armor, or ring (puts it back in inventory) [aliases: unequip]
  identify    Show full stats and modifiers for an inventory or equipped item [aliases: id]

No new aliases were added. No existing aliases were changed. They just announce themselves now.

🧪 Help Suggestion Tests Now Property-Based

Internal cleanup. The fixtures that asserted the exact ordered list of typo suggestions (e.g. ["identify", "reset", "remove"] for re) were brittle by design — every new short alias risked churn. Refactored to assert the invariant directly: suggestions must be sorted ascending by edit distance, with alphabetical tiebreak when distances match. Same correctness guarantee, no fixture churn when topics shift.

No user-visible behavior change.

📜 Documentation

  • The cargo build cache quirk that bit two manual QA cycles (cargo build --bin sq reports "Fresh" while the on-disk binary is stale) is now documented in AGENTS.md with the workaround (cargo clean -p shellquest).
  • The post-v1.18 sq identify work surfaced that max-enchanted Legendary items have a sell-enchant-bonus that exceeds their base sell value (the proportion of recovery climbs from 0% at +0 to 67% at +5). Documented in docs/balance-analysis.md as a v1.22+ observation. Net economy is unchanged — enchant-then-sell is still ~10% recovery on investment.

⚙ Compatibility

Saves are unchanged. No CLI behavior changes (the aliases worked before; they just weren't advertised). No migration. Drop-in upgrade.
