python_maithili --help currently prints Error: File '--help' not found. and exits 3 (verified) — there is no help flag at all.
Fix: in maithili_dsl/cli.py main(), handle -h / --help before the file path (same pattern as the existing -V / --version branch). Print usage in both Maithili and English, listing:
- invocation forms (
python_maithili <file.dmai>, python -m maithili_dsl <file.dmai>)
- available flags (
--version, --help, plus any added by other issues)
- the documented exit codes (
EXIT_OK 0, usage 2, not-found 3, lint 4, import-blocked 5, runtime 6)
Tests: tests/test_cli.py — --help and -h return exit 0 and contain the usage string.
Good first issue: pure CLI plumbing, no transpiler knowledge needed. (If you prefer migrating the hand-rolled arg handling to argparse, propose it in a comment first — it touches --version behavior too.)
