| 1 | // Code Generation by ChatGPT o4-mini-high with this specification: |
| 2 | // 1. Core Layout |
| 3 | // - Sections in order: |
| 4 | // NAME |
| 5 | // USAGE |
| 6 | // VERSION (app level only) |
| 7 | // DESCRIPTION |
| 8 | // COMMANDS (only user-defined, hide built-in "help") |
| 9 | // OPTIONS |
| 10 | // COPYRIGHT (app level only) |
| 11 | // |
| 12 | // 2. Section Headers |
| 13 | // - "NAME:", "USAGE:", "VERSION:", "DESCRIPTION:", "COMMANDS:", "OPTIONS:" and "COPYRIGHT:" in bold green. |
| 14 | // - Category headings (e.g. "Chord Options", "Gateway Options", "Global Options") in bold cyan, indented 2 spaces. |
| 15 | // |
| 16 | // 3. Wrapping & Indentation |
| 17 | // - Wrap all free-form text (DESCRIPTION and each flag’s usage) at 160 columns. |
| 18 | // - DESCRIPTION lines indented 3 spaces. |
| 19 | // - Flags indented 2 spaces. |
| 20 | // - Two-space gap between flag label and usage. |
| 21 | // - Wrapped continuation lines of flag usage get an extra 2-space indent. |
| 22 | // |
| 23 | // 4. Flag Grouping & Ordering |
| 24 | // - Group flags by their category. |
| 25 | // - Alphabetically sort categories (empty category labeled "Global Options"). |
| 26 | // - Within each category, preserve the order from the `Flags` slice. |
| 27 | // |
| 28 | // 5. Label Alignment |
| 29 | // - Compute the maximum width of any flag label (e.g. "--foo BAR") across all categories. |
| 30 | // - Right-pad every other label to that width so all usage columns start in the same column. |
| 31 | // |
| 32 | // 6. Help-flag & Help-command Suppression |
| 33 | // - Skip any flag whose rendered label starts with `--help`. |
| 34 | // - Skip the built-in `help` subcommand unless explicitly defined. |
| 35 | // |
| 36 | // 7. Color & Readability |
| 37 | // - Use `fatih/color` for ANSI colors: |
| 38 | // - Bright green for top-level headers. |
| 39 | // - Cyan for category headings. |
| 40 | // - Insert blank lines before each category and between major sections for breathing room. |
