Routing-Key: inbox-route/I_kwDOSUhdos8AAAABX3vXYw

The min helper installed inside sessions only recognized --help for
package patched-build; at every other dispatch level -h/--help/help
either errored with an unknown-subcommand message or was forwarded to the
daemon as data, and a bare min package/min task/min net printed an
empty-subcommand error instead of that level's usage.

This adds a shared usage function and a help check at each dispatch level, so
all three help spellings print that level's usage to stdout and exit 0 without
contacting the daemon, while bare package/task/net and unknown
subcommands print usage on stderr and exit 1. The top-level usage text now
lives in one function shared by min --help (exit 0) and the unknown-
subcommand path (exit 1).

Verification

  • cargo fmt --all --check — pass
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings — pass
  • cargo test --locked -p minimald help — 3 passed, including the new
    help_spellings_print_usage_without_rpc table test, which executes the
    installed helper as a script across all dispatch levels (19 rows) and
    asserts usage on the right stream, the right exit code, and that no RPC
    reaches the daemon.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Help requests at top-level and nested commands now display the relevant usage information and exit successfully.
    • Commands with missing required arguments and unknown subcommands display usage information and exit with an error.
    • Help flags provided in command arguments are handled according to the command’s expected behavior.

The in-session min helper only recognized --help for
package patched-build; every other level either errored with
an unknown-subcommand message or forwarded the flag to the
daemon as data.

Add a shared __min_usage and an __min_is_help check at each
dispatch level so -h/--help/help print that level's usage to
stdout and exit 0 without contacting the daemon, and bare
min package/min task/min net print their usage on stderr with
exit 1 instead of an unknown-subcommand error.

📝 Walkthrough

The min helper now handles help requests and missing subcommands with centralized usage text. Tests check output streams, exit statuses, and whether selected argument values trigger daemon RPCs.

Changes: CLI Help Dispatch

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared usage and top-level dispatch
crates/minimald/src/env_min_helper.sh
Shared helpers define usage text and recognize help. Direct script invocation handles top-level help and prints usage for unknown commands.
Nested command help and missing arguments
crates/minimald/src/env_min_helper.sh
Command handlers print command-specific usage for help requests and missing inputs. Help flags in eligible argument positions are handled before RPC calls.
Dispatch behavior tests
crates/minimald/src/env.rs
Tests check help spellings, output streams, exit statuses, RPC attempts, and argument values passed to the daemon.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d05fa

Unknown nested commands omit the promised usage guidance. The test gaps could also let help-output or argument-forwarding regressions pass. These are bounded fixes; the PR remains mergeable with owner follow-up.

…as an argument

min run --help, min task run --help and min add --build --help still sent
--help to the daemon. In argument slots a bare help is a package name,
search term or task name, so only -h/--help count there; the subcommand
slots keep accepting help.
…usage

min materialize, check, package build and add now answer -h/--help
anywhere in their arguments instead of forwarding it to the daemon;
min run stays first-slot only, since later arguments belong to the task.

patched-build help goes to stdout through __min_usage, the leftover
min_search/min_add usage strings name the real commands, search usage
reads <query> everywhere, and the top-level usage lists the shortcuts.
The help test now asserts each level's own usage line.

Approved: no findings at 93bb5cce6efb.

Nothing to do.

Only the canonical noun forms appear in --help; the shortcuts keep working but are not
advertised.

Assert the forwarded request line.

The socat stand-in discards stdin and reports only that an RPC started. The test can therefore pass if the helper drops or changes an argument before calling __min_rpc. Capture stdin and compare the expected request for each case.

A help flag after -o/--output or --arch is that flag's value, so
min materialize --output --help x reaches the daemon. An unknown package,
task, or net subcommand now prints that level's usage on stderr after the
error. The help test asserts the other stream stays empty.

Read the helper end to end. The two predicates keep the right distinction: a bare help counts only in a subcommand slot, never in an argument slot where it is a package, term or task name, and min run checks only its first argument so a task's own --help still reaches the task. materialize skips the value after -o/--output/--arch, so a path spelled --help is a path. Help goes to stdout with exit 0, error paths to stderr with exit 1, and the table test executes the installed script across every level with a stand-in socat to prove no RPC leaves. CodeRabbit's earlier changes-requested was on an older commit; it approved the current head.
