Summary
--helpon a leaf command (e.g.harness list project) currently dumps every flag into oneFlags:block — mixing the command's own flags with framework-level flags that are mechanically the same across every command sharing its verb (--format,--json,--columns,--all,--limit, etc). This makes it harder to scan for humans and costly for AI agents that have to read past a large block of repeated boilerplate to find what's actually specific to the command.pkg/rootcmd/usage.go) that splits the existingFlags:section into two:Flags:(command-specific) andCommon Flags:(built-in verb/endpoint flags), leavingGlobal Flags:untouched.--helprendering change: no flags are hidden, no flag registration/parsing/completion behavior changes.Future Work
