Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to With opt-in routing, a required default-command flag before a clause separator may consume the separator as its value and parse the following command in the wrong clause. This is a material correctness risk that should be fixed before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

- Around line 1856-1871: Update the detached-value lookahead in the value-flag
handling around value_flag to reject tokens recognized by
self.clause_separator(next) before consuming them, while preserving the existing
flag and negative-number checks. Also update accepts_detached_flag_value in the
other parser to reject the root.clause separator before accepting a detached
value.
In `@go/argv/parser.go`:
- Around line 182-183: Update the default-command descent logic around
defaultFlagRoute and step so parent-only short flags in bundled arguments are
parsed before descending into the default command; handle both -vu and -uv by
recording or processing the bundle boundary at the correct position, allowing -v
to remain a root flag while -u is handled by the default command. Add coverage
for both flag orders.

em -ua @worldcurrently fails at the parent even when-uand-abelong to its default command. Adddefault_subcommand_flags #true(or#[usage(default_subcommand = "install", default_subcommand_flags)]) so it parses asem install -ua @world.Lookahead skips recognized parent/default flags and their values. Explicit command names and aliases retain precedence, parent-only flags and bare invocations stay on the parent, and unknown flags stop lookahead. The implicit boundary goes before the first default-only flag, preserving parent flags before it and in the same short bundle (in either order), with normal child/global scope on subsequent tokens. Clause separators remain parser syntax during lookahead. Existing routing and legacy short-bundle behavior remain unchanged without the opt-in.
Includes Rust and Go runtime support, KDL/derive/generator plumbing, completion support, and documentation. Closes #1411.
Validation:
947d438b: Linux CI, Windows CI, and Rust 1.91 MSRV checks pass, including workspace Rust/Go tests, minimal-feature checks, lint, and rendering.6a037426; the Linux CI shell tests pass.Note
High Risk
Changes core argv parsing and completion across Rust, Go, and lib paths with subtle boundary and short-bundle rules; mistakes would mis-bind flags or break existing default-subcommand CLIs that opt in.
Overview
Adds
default_subcommand_flagsso CLIs can treat leading flags as belonging to the configured default subcommand (e.g.em -ua @world→em install -ua @world) without typing the subcommand name.When enabled, parsers run a read-only lookahead to place an implicit command boundary before the first default-only flag, then bind as usual. Parent and explicit sibling commands keep precedence; parent-only flags and mixed short bundles (
-pu/-up) still bind to the parent on the boundary token; unknown flags and--stop lookahead. Behavior is opt-in everywhere (KDL,#[usage(...)], Rustusage-argv,usage-libparse, Goargv, completion, lint, codegen).Ships reference docs, a large conformance corpus, derive round-trip/ conflict tests, and validation that
