`gitt --help` and `gitt <subcmd> --help` printed bittensor's bt.config argparse output instead of click's command tree, because importing bittensor at module load parses sys.argv and exits on -h/--help before click runs. Bare `gitt` worked. Extend the existing stub gate (PR entrius#704, used for shell completion) to also fire when -h/--help is in argv. Help-only invocations don't need the real bittensor — click resolves help text from decorators without running command bodies.
Ruff flagged the previous form (two assignments + if-block before later imports) with E402 'module level import not at top of file'. Collapsing the gate back to a single conditional preserves the conditional-import idiom that ruff E402 looks past, matching the pre-existing pattern from PR entrius#704.

Summary
gitt --helpand everygitt <subcommand> --helpinvocation printed bittensor'sbt.configargparse output instead of click's command tree. Only baregitt(no args) showed the correct help. New users hitting--helpfirst saw a screen with--logging.debugflags and none of the actual commands —miner,issues,vote,admin,harvest,config,completionwere all invisible.Type of Change
