Build + eyeball the new help:


PowerShell

cargo build -q -p spt --bin spt 2>&1 | Select-Object -First 30; target\debug\spt.exe --help

Build spt and show new --help output


spt — a harness-independent core for an agent ecosystem: inter-agent messaging, live-agent
lifecycle, terminal hosting, P2P networking, seamless self-update. Docs:
https://sabermage.github.io/spt-releases

Usage: spt.exe <COMMAND>

User commands:
  access     Endpoint access whitelist for unsolicited off-node inbound
  adapter    Adapter registration: what this node can drive/launch
  digest     Show a hosted session's live activity buffer (PTY digest)
  fork       Fork an endpoint into another subnet as a NEW identity
  grant      Consent grant store: gated capabilities held on this node
  help       Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
  list       List this node's perches (id, state, address, ready, alive)
  notif      Inspect and acknowledge notifications
  pair       Subnet pairing: show this node's current pairing code
  rename     Rename an endpoint's logical id across its on-disk state
  stop       Soft-stop a perch (spool preserved)
  suspend    Rest an endpoint cold (the suspend edge)
  update     Self-update operations
  wake       Wake a resting endpoint in place

Agent commands:
  api        Harness-contract inbound surface (hook entry points)
  notify     Issue a subnet-wide user notification
  poll       Receive messages: drain backlog, then listen
  ready      Become reachable: register the perch and listen (blocks)
  resources  The subnet resource registry — an agent yellow-pages
  ring       Send and block for a reply (body read from stdin)
  send       Send a message (body read from stdin); fire-and-forget
  shell      Shell instances: mint, list, drive, tear down owned surfaces
  shutdown   Gracefully shut down an agent's own endpoint
  whoami     Print this session's own perch id

Options:
  -h, --help     Print help
  -V, --version  Print version


Clean. Verify subcommand long help + wrap:


target\debug\spt.exe help fork; "-----"; target\debug\spt.exe shell --help | Select-Object -First 14

Check long_about rendering and nested help wrapping


Fork an endpoint into another subnet as a NEW identity.

Home subnets are immutable — fork is the cross-subnet move, never a re-home. Seeds the fork with a
one-time copy of the source's mind (live + project tiers); the two diverge immediately (no ongoing
sync). The source is untouched unless --delete-source. Same-node only today (one node holds one
perch per name, so a local fork needs a new id).

Usage: spt.exe fork [OPTIONS] --subnet <SUBNET> <SRC> <NEW_ID>

Arguments:
  <SRC>
          The source endpoint (must exist on this node)

  <NEW_ID>
          The fork's id (must differ from the source on the same node)

Options:
      --subnet <SUBNET>
          The fork's home subnet — the target (must be a member)

      --delete-source
          Delete the source endpoint (perch + tracked mind) after the copy

  -h, --help
          Print help (see a summary with '-h')
-----
Shell instances: mint, list, drive, tear down owned surfaces.

The driven surfaces this agent owns. `spawn` MINTS a new instance identity (`<adapter>-<n>`) — it is
not the online switch; bringing an existing offline instance back is `relink` / `persistent` / wake.

Usage: spt.exe shell <COMMAND>

Commands:
  spawn     Mint a NEW shell instance of a registered `kind="shell"` adapter: canonical id
            `<adapter>-<n>` (smallest free n; teardown frees slots), starting offline (the launch +
            bind handshake brings it online)
  list      List this owner's instances: canonical id, alias, adapter, status
  teardown  Destroy an instance (perch removed; mint slot + alias freed)
  rename    Set/replace an instance's alias (owner-unique)


Hanging-indent wrap works in nested helps too. Tests + docs regen + drift gate:

fix(docs-site): theme sizing — mdBook root is 10px, not 16px

mdBook sets `html { font-size: 62.5% }` (1rem = 10px); the theme CSS was
written in Starlight''s 16px-based rem values, rendering everything at ~60%
(460px measure, 8.75px code, 20px h1). All sizes converted to mdBook-rem and
mirrored to Starlight''s scale: body 1.6rem/1.75, content measure 72rem
(Starlight''s 45rem @16px), h1/h2/h3 stepping 3/2.4/2rem -> 3.6/3/2.4rem at
Starlight''s 800px breakpoint (its responsive type scale), code blocks
1.4rem, sidebar 1.4rem, inline code 0.9375em. Unit note added at the top of
the file.

fix(cli): wrap --help properly + group commands by audience

Two --help defects: clap was built without `wrap_help`, so long help lines
went out unwrapped and the terminal hard-wrapped them to column 0; and every
command's full doc paragraph rendered as its list `about`, bloating the
Commands block.

- enable clap `wrap_help`: text now wraps at terminal width with a hanging
  indent aligned to the description column (root help + every nested help).
- split each command's doc comment into a one-line `about` (the list entry,
  never wraps at 80 cols) + a `long_about` carrying the full detail (shown
  by `spt help <cmd>` and captured verbatim in the generated CLI reference).
- replace the flat Commands block with two alphabetized, audience-grouped

[dev-freeform fbedaba] fix(cli): wrap --help properly + group commands by audience
 5 files changed, 858 insertions(+), 529 deletions(-)


Done. Committed `fbedaba`.

**What changed:**

1. **Wrap fix** — root cause: clap built without `wrap_help` feature → clap emitted unwrapped lines, terminal hard-wrapped to col 0. Enabled feature; all help (root + nested, e.g. `spt shell --help`) now wraps with hanging indent at description column.

2. **One-liner abouts** (git/cargo convention) — each command's doc split: first line = list entry, full detail moved to `long_about` (visible via `spt help <cmd>`, still captured verbatim in generated CLI reference — no doc loss).

3. **Grouped + alphabetized** — clap lacks native subcommand headings, so help template built at runtime from the derived `Command` (zero drift possible). Result:
   - **User commands**: access, adapter, digest, fork, grant, help, list, notif, pair, rename, stop, suspend, update, wake
   - **Agent commands**: api, notify, poll, ready, resources, ring, send, shell, shutdown, whoami

   Split lives in one `AGENT_COMMANDS` const — trivial to reshuffle if you disagree with any placement (`resources`/`notify` were judgment calls: agents author + issue them).

**Guards:** new unit test enforces every visible command classified + about fits unwrapped at 80 cols. xtask reference parser updated for new headings; `reference.md` regenerated; `xtask check`, 80/80 tests, `traceable-reqs check` all green.

<what-to-do>

Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.

Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing.

If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.

</what-to-do>

<supporting-info>

## Domain awareness

During codebase exploration, also look for existing documentation:

### File structure

Most repos have a single context:

```
/
├── CONTEXT.md
├── docs/
│   └── adr/
│       ├── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md
│       └── 0002-postgres-for-write-model.md
└── src/
```

If a `CONTEXT-MAP.md` exists at the root, the repo has multiple contexts. The map points to where each one lives:

```
/
├── CONTEXT-MAP.md
├── docs/
│   └── adr/                          ← system-wide decisions
├── src/
│   ├── ordering/
│   │   ├── CONTEXT.md
│   │   └── docs/adr/                 ← context-specific decisions
│   └── billing/
│       ├── CONTEXT.md
│       └── docs/adr/
```

Create files lazily — only when you have something to write. If no `CONTEXT.md` exists, create one when the first term is resolved. If no `docs/adr/` exists, create it when the first ADR is needed.

## During the session

### Challenge against the glossary

When the user uses a term that conflicts with the existing language in `CONTEXT.md`, call it out immediately. "Your glossary defines 'cancellation' as X, but you seem to mean Y — which is it?"

### Sharpen fuzzy language

When the user uses vague or overloaded terms, propose a precise canonical term. "You're saying 'account' — do you mean the Customer or the User? Those are different things."

### Discuss concrete scenarios

When domain relationships are being discussed, stress-test them with specific scenarios. Invent scenarios that probe edge cases and force the user to be precise about the boundaries between concepts.

### Cross-reference with code

When the user states how something works, check whether the code agrees. If you find a contradiction, surface it: "Your code cancels entire Orders, but you just said partial cancellation is possible — which is right?"

### Update CONTEXT.md inline

When a term is resolved, update `CONTEXT.md` right there. Don't batch these up — capture them as they happen. Use the format in [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](./CONTEXT-FORMAT.md).

`CONTEXT.md` should be totally devoid of implementation details. Do not treat `CONTEXT.md` as a spec, a scratch pad, or a repository for implementation decisions. It is a glossary and nothing else.

### Offer ADRs sparingly

Only offer to create an ADR when all three are true:

1. **Hard to reverse** — the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful
2. **Surprising without context** — a future reader will wonder "why did they do it this way?"
3. **The result of a real trade-off** — there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons

If any of the three is missing, skip the ADR. Use the format in [ADR-FORMAT.md](./ADR-FORMAT.md).
