Every ncl verb now declares its args: strict validation with fix-carrying
error messages, generated per-verb --help, and multi-word custom-op key
resolution (spaces vs dashes). Longest-prefix command fallback keeps dashed
positional ids intact.
Responses gain a server-rendered 'human' frame field (formatHuman hook): the
host renders tables once and every client prints them verbatim — container
agents cannot import host formatters, so this is how they get aligned output
instead of a raw column dump. --help responses carry 'human' for clean
multi-line rendering.
Robustness fixes riding along:
- generic list returns newest rows first, so the LIMIT no longer hides
recent rows
- stdout flushed before exit — >64KB responses were silently truncated
Additive only: new response-frame fields, no schema changes.
