//! What:
//!  The grammar of `git cli-git <command>`,
//!  the wrapper's own management namespace.
//! Why:
//!  `check` and `fix` run policies over an explicit scope;
//!  `trust`,
//!  `untrust` and
//!      `status` are retired with executable configuration and only explain that.
//!
//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
//! ```ts
//! // parseManagementArgs(['check', '--all']) => { command: 'check', all: true, policies: [], pathspecs: [] }
//! ```

Usage: git cli-git <command> [options]

Run repository policies directly.

Commands:
  check    Check policies over an explicit scope.
  fix      Apply policy fixes over an explicit scope.

Scope (exactly one):
  --all             The whole repository.
  -- <pathspec>...  The named pathspecs.

Options:
  --policy <id>  Run only this policy; may be repeated.
  --help         Show this help.

Policies are configured as data in cli-git.config.jsonc at the repository top level.
The trust, untrust and status commands are retired: configuration is no longer code,
so there is nothing to approve.
