1//! Global flags shared by every builtin via `#[command(flatten)]`.
2//!
3//! Today this is just `--json`. Every builtin flattens `GlobalFlags` into its
4//! own clap struct and calls `parsed.global.apply(ctx)` after parsing; the
5//! kernel reads the output format the flag set (via
6//! [`ToolCtx::set_output_format`](crate::ToolCtx::set_output_format)) after
7//! `execute()` returns and applies it.

58/// `--json`/`--json=VALUE` surviving as a literal string in `args.positional`
59/// is the `raw_argv` case (GH #198): a `raw_argv` tool's binder deliberately
60/// does not lift ANY flag out of source order (that's the whole point — see
61/// `ToolSchema::raw_argv`), so `--json` lands in `positional` instead of
62/// `flags`. Without this, a raw_argv builtin (`test`, and now `kill`) would
63/// silently ignore `--json` — a real, user-visible regression discovered
64/// while adding `kill`'s signal shorthand.
65///
66/// Stops scanning at a literal `"--"` token: a real end-of-options marker
67/// makes every following token an operand, not a flag — for `raw_argv` tools
68/// that's `kill -- --json foo` (foo is a job/PID literally spelled
69/// `--json`); for a NORMAL (non-raw_argv) tool it's the pre-existing case of
70/// a post-`--` `--json` operand (`echo -- --json`), which the ordinary
71/// binder already relegates to `positional` too (`past_double_dash` in
72/// `bind_tool_args`). Without this boundary, the scan would reinterpret that
73/// literal operand as the global JSON flag for every builtin, not just
74/// raw_argv ones — a real regression this comment exists to prevent
75/// reintroducing.
76///
77/// `--json=VALUE`'s truthiness comes from
78/// [`global_flag_value_is_truthy`](kaish_types::global_flag_value_is_truthy),
79/// the one rule the typed and verbatim binders also ask, so every path agrees
80/// on what counts as "on".
