feat(help): use semantic colors by default - #1297
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughHelp templates now support validated style tags, nested ANSI rendering, escaping, and plain-output stripping. Rust and Go renderers share a 23-style vocabulary. Help assembly now styles headings, flags, arguments, metavariables, and recursive pages. ChangesHelp template styling
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds semantic help-template parsing and validation, but existing specifications containing literal Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In `@argv/src/help.rs`:
- Around line 608-609: Update the argument-usage collection near arg_usages to
include visible argument rows from flattened descendant commands when
meta.flatten_help is enabled, using the same visibility filtering as
flat_commands_short and flat_commands_long; retain the existing meta.args usages
and ensure the styling lookup for descendant metavariables can match them. Add a
fixture covering styled arguments in flattened help.
- Around line 542-550: The metavariable styling branch currently requires an
uppercase first character, so lowercase bracketed placeholders such as [file]
are not styled. Update the relevant logic in arg_usage to recognize
metavariables immediately following the existing bracket delimiter regardless of
case, while preserving uppercase handling for other metavariable forms, and add
a fixture covering [file].

Reviewed at high effort (line-by-line with runtime repros, removed-behavior/cross-file tracing across the Rust argv, usage-lib, and Go renderers, plus cleanup passes), with adversarial verification of every finding. 9 findings posted inline. The headline items are runtime, not cosmetic:
Structural: the style vocabulary + validator now exists in ~5 hand-copies (lib, derive, argv check, argv apply, Go), which have already drifted (the The semantic palette itself and per-section coloring approach look right, and plain output stays byte-identical in the shapes the tests cover.
