Built-in commands (part of the jan binary):
  use — set, show, or clear the preferred jan directory
  lab — isolated jan + cron environment for trying a command tree
  computer — register, show, or clear the host computer id for `computer:` filtering
  bundle — pack the preferred YAML tree into a ZIP
  alias — emit shell aliases for executable leaves
  config — emit / link / unlink / apply / deps host configuration from the preferred tree
  list — list script leaves in the preferred tree
  search — find scripts by name/about/category
  show — print details for a script leaf
  validate — structural checks for the preferred tree
  audit — query the SQLite invocation log
  cron — start/stop daemon; --list reads the schedule cache (100ms ticks)
  systems — list/show/status for named agent systems (`system:` YAML)
  runtime — warm language interpreter pool (python/node/shell/kotlin)
  packages — inspect / prune cached package environments (uv, pnpm, gradle)
  test — run Given/When/Then shell tests for a command path (and nested)
  ps — show jan processes and collective CPU usage

Global options:
  -h, --help       Show this help (lists preferred-tree commands when a dir is set)
  -V, --version    Print version
  -v, --verbose    Explain how the preferred directory was resolved
      --cwd <DIR>  Working directory for subprocesses (default: .)
      --db <FILE>  SQLite audit log path
      --branch <B> Override git branch recorded in the audit log
      --no-log     Do not write to the audit log

Configure a command tree with `jan use <DIR>`, then re-run `jan --help`.
To try agents without touching your daily setup: `jan lab <DIR> --help`.
