fix(build): keep Click command docstrings in release binaries

 - Retry the `apm mcp search` and `apm mcp show` integration tests on the documented "Could not reach MCP registry" transient (with backoff and a final skip) so a brief `api.mcp.github.com` outage no longer red-marks the Windows integration job. (#1274)
 - Also wrap `Path.expanduser()` in the root test conftest so the `windows-2025-vs2026` runner cannot raise `RuntimeError("Could not determine home directory.")` from `ntpath.expanduser` when production code (e.g. `install.package_resolution.user_scope_rejection_reason`) calls `Path("~/pkg").expanduser()`. Falls back to the hermetic tmp dir; assertions about `~/pkg` being absolute still hold. (#1276)
 - `apm install` from marketplaces registered on `*.ghe.com` (GHE Cloud) hosts now routes auth at the registered enterprise host instead of silently defaulting to `github.com` and failing with 401; the marketplace resolver backfills the enterprise host onto the canonical so downstream `DependencyReference.parse` recovers it, and the resulting `apm.yml` entry records the correct enterprise `git:` URL instead of `https://github.com/...`. (#1292)
+- `apm view --help` and the `view` row in `apm --help` now render in release binaries; PyInstaller's `optimize=2` was stripping `__doc__` from every Click command, and `view` was the only command that relied on its docstring instead of the explicit `help=` kwarg every other command defensively sets. Lowered the spec to `optimize=1` so asserts are still removed but docstrings survive, restoring Click's documented help-from-docstring fallback for all current and future commands. (#1298)
