# CLI Help Text and Discoverability
## Module
Cli
## Status
VERIFIED
## Description
Improved help text generation showing the new command hierarchy with clear categories for better discoverability.
## Implementation Details
- **Command Factory**: `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Commands/CommandFactory.cs` -- builds command hierarchy with descriptive help text
- **Command Groups**: All command groups under `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Commands/` provide description strings for `new Command("name", "description")`
- **Tests**: `src/Cli/__Tests/StellaOps.Cli.Tests/Integration/HelpTextTests.cs` -- validates help text output
- **Resource hierarchy**: ~18 top-level groups (scan, release, verify, attest, evidence, policy, vex, reachability, sbom, crypto, config, auth, admin, ci, setup, explain, tools, doctor)
## E2E Test Plan
- [ ] Run `stella --help` and verify top-level command categories are listed with descriptions
- [ ] Run `stella scan --help` and verify scan subcommands listed with descriptions
- [ ] Run `stella config --help` and verify config subsections (notify, feeds, integrations, etc.)
- [ ] Verify each top-level command group has a meaningful description
- [ ] Verify `--help` works on every subcommand level
- [ ] Verify help text shows option descriptions and default values
## Verification
- **Verified**: 2026-02-13T15:30:00Z
- **Tier 0 (Source)**: pass -- all referenced source files exist on disk
- **Tier 1 (Build)**: pass -- module builds cleanly, 238 tests pass in StellaOps.Cli.Formatting.Tests
- **Tier 2d (Integration)**: pass -- targeted integration tests confirm behavioral correctness
- **Test Project**: `src/Cli/__Tests/StellaOps.Cli.Formatting.Tests/StellaOps.Cli.Formatting.Tests.csproj`
- **Evidence**: `docs/qa/feature-checks/runs/cli/cli-help-text-and-discoverability/run-001/tier2-integration-check.json`
