Rationale: Draft PR with minor CLI consistency fixes (flag ordering in docs + help text style). No behavioral change. Defer until undrafted and CI passes. Blockers: Currently a draft — needs undrafting before review.

Updated in commit c9e0f9f. The Go help text now retains the requested (Cache eviction) text for --cache-before, and the focused test was updated accordingly.

The (Cache eviction) prefix is retained in logs_command.go line 395 (restored in c9e0f9f), and the test at line 90 correctly asserts Contains("(Cache eviction)"). Also reverted the unrelated SKILL.md change that had removed the Codespaces download guidance block.

Pull request overview
Normalizes CLI option/help presentation, though the cache-help regression guard is inverted and an unrelated skill change is included.
Changes:

Skills-Based Review 🧠
Applied /grill-with-docs — one observation worth addressing.
📋 Summary
Finding
The PR description states that (Cache eviction) is removed from the --cache-before help text, but the new test assertion on line 90 of logs_command_test.go guards that the text is present. Per the review thread, the removal was reverted — but the PR description was never updated to reflect this. This creates a misleading audit trail.
Positive Highlights
- ✅
--engine/-elong-first ordering in docs is a clean, low-risk consistency fix - ✅ Regression test added for
cache-beforeflag help text — good discipline - ✅ SKILL.md cleanup removes stale Codespaces-specific download instructions

[/grill-with-docs] The PR description says the (Cache eviction) prefix is removed, but this assertion guards that it is retained — the two contradict each other. The description should be updated to match the actual final state (prefix kept per reviewer request), so future audits and bisects aren't misled.
@copilot please address this.

The changes look correct and internally consistent. No blocking issues found.

Two issues need resolution before merge
This PR claims to be a consistency cleanup but contains a contradiction between its description and its actual changes, and silently removes critical operational guidance.
Blocking findings
1. SKILL.md — Codespaces download guidance deleted with no replacement
The removed block was the only place telling agents to use raw.githubusercontent.com over github.com HTML pages. Agents running in Codespaces routinely fail to fetch via authenticated gh tokens due to scope mismatch; removing the guidance causes silent corruption (HTML error pages parsed as skill content). Unless this guidance moved somewhere else, this is a runtime regression.
2. logs_command_test.go — Test assertion contradicts the PR description
The PR description says (Cache eviction) was removed from logs_command.go, but logs_command.go is not in the diff and still contains the prefix. The new test asserts the prefix IS present, which will pass indefinitely for the wrong reason. Either the description is wrong (intent was to keep the prefix) or the logs_command.go change was forgotten.

Removing Codespaces download guidance silently breaks agent fetch paths: the deleted block was the only place telling agents to use raw.githubusercontent.com instead of github.com HTML pages, and to halt immediately if a file is inaccessible.
💡 Why this matters
Inside Codespaces, gh-authenticated fetches to github.com URLs for private-repo files can fail with permission errors (token scope mismatch). When this happens, agents receive an HTML error page instead of file content and may continue with corrupted skill data — a silent, hard-to-debug failure.
The PR description frames this as a style/consistency cleanup, but provides no replacement for the runtime guidance. If this guidance has moved somewhere agents reliably read before attempting downloads, that location should be identified in the description or diff. If it has simply been deleted, this is a regression for Codespaces users.
Recommended: keep the block, or explicitly identify where this guidance now lives.

Test assertion contradicts the PR description: the new assertion verifies that (Cache eviction) IS present in the flag usage string, but the PR description says this prefix was removed from logs_command.go.
💡 Details
From the PR body:
Updated
pkg/cli/logs_command.goto remove the unique parenthetical prefix from the--cache-beforeflag description.
But logs_command.go is not in the diff — it was not changed — and the existing code on line 395 still reads:
logsCmd.Flags().String("cache-before", "", "(Cache eviction) Evict locally cached run folders ...")So the new assertion:
assert.Contains(t, cacheBeforeFlag.Usage, "(Cache eviction)", "cache-before flag usage should retain cache-eviction prefix text")...passes today because the text was never removed, which means the test adds no regression protection. If someone later actually removes (Cache eviction) (as the PR description implies was intended), this assertion would catch it — which is the opposite of what you want.
Either:
- The PR description is wrong and the intent is to keep the prefix (the test is then correct, but the description must be fixed), or
- The prefix was supposed to be removed from
logs_command.go(the change was missed), in which case the test should assert the absence of the prefix, not its presence.
This needs clarification before merge.
