Missing root examples fallback
Medium Severity
ShortHelp only prints a command's own Examples and returns when that list is empty. usage-lib and usage-argv both fall back to the spec/root examples for pages that declare none — the same rule as BeforeHelp/AfterHelp. HelpSpec already carries those brackets but has no Examples field, so top-level examples never appear on subcommand pages (and may be dropped entirely for the root).

Correct, and confirmed against the reference:
fn page_examples<'a>(spec: &Spec<'a>, meta: &CommandMeta<'a>) -> &'a [Example<'a>] {
if meta.examples.is_empty() { spec.root.examples } else { meta.examples }
}Fixed in 5c9efb6 — the fallback is to the root command's examples rather than to a new HelpSpec field, which is truer to the reference and needs nothing added.
Worth recording that mise declares no root examples, so the 211-page parity suite could not see this in either direction. That is the third time in this stack the largest fixture available cannot exercise a rule — the relationship-scope hole and the flag-value brackets were the others. Pinned with a unit test instead.

Instruction countsNothing was compared, and so nothing was gated. No series appears on both sides: either the base has no measurements recorded, or the two were measured on different runner classes, which are deliberately not comparable — counts shift between machine types by more than a real regression does. New, nothing to compare against: Only instruction counts gate. Wall clock is shown for context — on identical hardware it moves 4-20% run to run. Measured by tak — instruction-counted CLI benchmarks, stored in this repository's git notes. Shadow comparisonParsing

…of mise's `argv.ShortHelp` lays out the whole page: header, `Commands`, `Arguments`, `Flags` and `Global flags`, with the columns lined up and the inherited globals worked out the way the parser resolves them. **All 211 of mise's pages match usage-lib byte for byte**, which is the standard `benches/gate/tests/help.rs` holds usage-argv to and the only one worth having here: help text is the part of a CLI a user actually reads, and a rule reimplemented from a spec-driven template into static tables drifts unless something checks every page. The reference is `xtask help-pages`, and 167 of the 211 matched on the first run. The four things that did not, each a rule that reads as arbitrary until the diff shows it: The short page prints an entry's whole `help`, not its first line. mise has flags whose help is two lines, and the second appears on the page unindented. `(default: …)` is printed for an argument and not for a flag, which is not an oversight in usage-lib but a distinction the long page picks back up. The short-flag column is four wide and only a *bare* short goes in it: a flag carrying a declared name the forms do not imply — `jobs: -j --parallel` — is left whole rather than split around a comma. And a page offers a spelling only where the flag it is describing is the one that would bind it. That is the fiddliest part and the most load-bearing: a nearer command claiming `--jobs` leaves an inherited `--workers` findable, hidden flags still reserve their spellings, and a long anywhere in scope beats a negation because the parser asks for every long before any negation. Advertising a flag that something else binds is the lie this model exists to prevent. The emitter carries the same fields, and the generated tables render every page in the tree — the corpus suite proves the renderer against usage-lib with tables built at run time, which leaves the emitter's half unchecked, and a dropped alias or annotation changes exactly one line of one page. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
There are two things that build the same tables from the same spec: `usage generate go`, which emits Go source at build time from Rust, and the lowering in `internal/spec`, which builds the structs in Go. Nothing compared them. The corpus runs against one, the shadow package's tests against the other, and the page tests compare either against usage-lib — so a field that neither renderer reads, or that both fall back for, could differ in silence. Three differences did. A command's `Long` fell back to its short help in the lowering and not in the emitter. A page renders the same either way, which is why nothing caught it. An alias declared twice, once hidden, was advertised. usage-lib reports it in both `aliases` and `hidden_aliases`, and the emitter filters; taking the visible list as it arrives puts a deliberately hidden alias on the page. And subcommands came out in a different order, which handed out different keys for every entry after the first divergence. The lowering sorted by name because a Go map has none — but the object usage-lib writes is in declaration order, and holding that order is something this CLI does on purpose. So the object is now decoded a key at a time. The test is the point: whole structs, field by field, over the whole of mise's spec. A field added to a table is compared by having been added, rather than by someone remembering to list it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`UnmarshalJSON` appended to whatever the receiver already held, so decoding a second spec into the same value left the first one's commands in the table beside it — a parse table describing a CLI that does not exist. `null` left them untouched too. Into a local list, assigned once the object closes: a spec that fails to decode should not have half-replaced the one that did. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Note
Low Risk
Help rendering and tests only; no parser binding or security-sensitive paths changed. Risk is mainly user-visible help text regressions, guarded by byte-for-byte reference tests.
