Code Review
This pull request successfully standardizes the verb for re-initializing components to reload across the CLI, which is a great step for consistency. The changes are comprehensive, touching upon commands, UI text, tests, and documentation. My main feedback is the inclusion of garbage.txt, which appears to be an accidental commit and should be removed to maintain the cleanliness of the codebase.

This file seems to have been added by accident. It contains random data and does not appear to be related to the functionality of the CLI. Please remove it to keep the project's source clean.
