-Drop the stale, hand-maintained `Toolbox` section (it still listed `rimraf`, which isn't a plugin) and fold the tool list into the `Plugins` section as the single source of truth. The official plugins are now named there — `biome`, `oxc`, `ts`, `tsdown` — each linked to the tool it wraps, framed as capabilities added via plugins rather than a flat bag of tools.

-Drop the `muted` token from `palette` and route its callers through `palette.dim`.
-
-`muted` (a fixed `#a8afb5` gray) overlapped with `dim` for the secondary-text role it was used in (`$` command prefix, `v<version>`, the `vland init` "Next steps" / source path). Consolidating on `dim` keeps a single secondary tone and lets it follow the terminal's dim attribute. `@vlandoss/vland`'s banner, `--usage` hint, and `init` output move to `dim` accordingly.

-Decouple the CLI into framework-agnostic layers and redesign the help surface.
-
-Every command body becomes a free-function action (`src/actions/*`) that takes a single `<Name>ActionConfig` object; commander commands are thin wrappers that resolve their service via the `ctx.plugins` facade (throwing `MissingPluginError` when no configured plugin provides the capability) and delegate to exactly one action. Actions depend only on `services`/`render`/`lib`, never on the CLI framework. The plugin SDK moves to `src/lib/plugin/*`, ad-hoc errors become domain error classes (`src/errors/*` for kernel errors, `src/lib/plugin/errors.ts` for SDK errors), and a plugin's `ui` label is now derived from a single `color` function it provides — plugins no longer hard-code their own `ui` string. The `plugins` command monolith is split into `actions/plugins/*`, and the official plugin list is reshaped into `src/lib/plugin/directory.ts` (`PLUGINS_DIRECTORY` + `allPluginNames`/`isPluginName`).
-
-The help surface is rebuilt on commander's native formatter instead of a bespoke help class: the root program is a `RunRunCmd` subclass that groups commands (`Code quality:` / `Build:` / `Maintenance:` / `Meta:`) and attaches a banner and an installed/available plugins footer via `addHelpText`. Unknown commands now use commander's native `showSuggestionAfterError` "Did you mean?" output. `--about` credits, per-command `Powered by:` / `See also:` lines (auto-derived from each command's declared capabilities by the `Cmd` base class in `src/program/base.ts`), the installed/available plugins footer (`render/footer.ts`), a `rr config` plugins table (package + version), and a small table/line builder (`render/lines.ts`) round out the rendering layer.
