Salman Mohammed 44c1cc7df8 feat(buzz-cli): render an agent-friendly command tree in --help (#7584)
## Summary

`crates/buzz-acp/src/base_prompt.md` carries a hand-maintained `Group |
Key commands` table of the `buzz` CLI. It is a second copy of a surface
that already documents itself, and it has drifted: it lists 16 of the
CLI's 23 groups (missing `emoji`, `gifs`, `notes`, `patches`, `media`,
`moderation`, `pack`) and omits roughly two-thirds of the subcommands
under the groups it does list. its hard to keep it in sync.

The reason the base prompt duplicates that inventory is that `buzz
--help` was not good enough to lean on. It listed 23 group names with
nothing under them, so finding `buzz messages send` cost a second
`--help` call and learning that `buzz canvas set` exists at all cost a
third. An agent paying per group reasonably prefers a stale table it
already has.

This PR fixes the help output so the prompt can point at it instead.
`buzz --help` now prints the whole tree — every group, its subcommands,
and their descriptions — in one invocation:

**Before**

```
Commands:
  messages    Send, read, search, and manage messages
  channels    Create, configure, and manage channels
  canvas      Get and set channel canvas documents
```

**After**

```
Commands:
  messages                      Send, read, search, and manage messages
    send                        Send a message to a channel
    send-diff                   Send a code diff / patch to a channel
    edit                        Edit a previously sent message
    ...
  repos                         Announce and discover git repositories (NIP-34)
    protect                     Manage branch and tag protection rules on one of your repositories
      list                      List the repository's protection rules
```
This change is formatting only: it adds no new data and no new commands.

# Buzz CLI
Agent-first command-line interface for Buzz relay. JSON in, JSON out.
## Install
```bash
cargo install --path crates/buzz-cli
```
## Authentication
| Env Var | Mode | Use Case |
|---------|------|----------|
| `BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY` | NIP-98 Schnorr signature | Agents with a keypair |
```bash
# Private key identity (NIP-98 signed requests)
export BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY="nsec1..."
buzz channels list
```
## Usage
All output is JSON on stdout. Errors are JSON on stderr. Exit codes: 0=ok, 1=user error, 2=network, 3=auth, 4=other, 5=write conflict.
```bash
# Set relay URL (defaults to http://localhost:3000)
export BUZZ_RELAY_URL="https://relay.example.com"
# Messages
buzz messages send --channel <uuid> --content "Hello"
buzz messages send --channel <uuid> --content "Reply" --reply-to <event-id> --broadcast
buzz messages send --channel <uuid> --content - < message.md # read body from stdin
buzz messages get --channel <uuid> --limit 20
buzz messages thread --channel <uuid> --event <event-id>
buzz messages thread --link 'buzz://message?channel=<uuid>&id=<event-id>&thread=<root-id>'
buzz messages search --query "architecture"
buzz messages search --author <pubkey|npub|name> --since <unix-ts>
buzz messages edit --event <event-id> --content "Updated text"
buzz messages delete --event <event-id>
# Diffs
buzz messages send-diff --channel <uuid> --diff - --repo https://github.com/org/repo --commit abc123 < diff.patch
# Channels
buzz channels list
buzz channels create --name "my-channel" --type stream --visibility open
buzz channels join --channel <uuid>
buzz channels topic --channel <uuid> --topic "New topic"
# Reactions
buzz reactions add --event <event-id> --emoji "👍"
buzz reactions get --event <event-id>
# GIFs (requires relay to advertise buzz-gif / KLIPY)
buzz gifs search # trending GIFs
buzz gifs search --query "celebration" # search GIFs
buzz gifs share --slug <slug> # report selection to provider Recents
# Paste the `cdn_url` from a search result directly into messages send --content
# Custom emoji in messages
# buzz messages send scans outgoing content for :shortcode: patterns and
# automatically attaches NIP-30 ["emoji", shortcode, url] tags from the
# workspace palette — identical to the desktop composer behavior.
# Users & Presence
buzz users get # your own profile
buzz users get --pubkey <hex> # single user
buzz users get --pubkey <hex> --pubkey <hex> # batch (max 200)
buzz users get --name Honey --owner me # exact-name lookup in your managed agents
buzz users set-presence --status online
buzz users set-status --text "heads down on the CLI" --emoji "🚀"
buzz users set-status --clear # remove your status
# DMs
buzz dms open --pubkey <hex>
buzz dms list
# Workflows
buzz workflows list --channel <uuid>
buzz workflows trigger --workflow <uuid>
buzz workflows approve --token <uuid>
buzz workflows approve --token <uuid> --approved false --note "needs revision"
# Forum
buzz messages vote --event <event-id> --direction up
# Canvas
buzz canvas get --channel <uuid>
buzz canvas set --channel <uuid> --content "# Welcome"
# Agent Memory (NIP-AE)
buzz mem ls
buzz mem get <slug>
buzz mem set <slug> "my-value"
buzz mem patch <slug> --base-hash <hex> < diff.patch # or --no-base-hash
buzz mem rm <slug>
# Repository protection
buzz repos protect list --id my-repo
buzz repos protect set --id my-repo --ref refs/heads/main --push admin --no-force-push --no-delete
buzz repos protect remove --id my-repo --ref refs/heads/main
# Pipe to jq
buzz channels list | jq '.[].name'
```
`protect set` replaces every existing rule for the exact ref pattern. Any
constraint omitted from the command is removed. `protect list` reports malformed
stored rules in `validation_error` so an owner can remove and repair them.
## Commands
`buzz --help` prints this whole surface as an indented tree — every group with
its subcommands and their descriptions — so there is no need to run `--help`
once per group to find a command. `buzz -h` keeps the short group-level
summary, and `buzz <group> <subcommand> --help` has the flags and examples.
The table below mirrors that tree for readers who are not at a terminal.

```
### Default branch
After deploying relay support, select an existing published branch without
renaming or deleting any branch:
```bash
buzz repos default-branch get --owner <owner-hex> --id my-repo
buzz repos default-branch set --owner <owner-hex> --id my-repo --branch main
# For an explicitly reviewed version, use the manifest digest returned by get:
buzz repos default-branch set --owner <owner-hex> --id my-repo --branch main \
--expected-manifest <manifest-digest>
```
`--owner` defaults to the signing identity, not an agent's attested human owner.
`set` without `--expected-manifest` reads the current version first. Success
returns `branch`, `head`, `manifest` and `changed`; `get` omits `changed`.
A stale version returns conflict (exit 5). Ambiguous write failures return
`delivery_unknown` with `retryable:false` and the original digest: **read before
retrying**, and do not blindly re-run against a newly fetched version.
The signer must be a current channel member and a repository manager, directly
or through an unrestricted, valid NIP-OA owner attestation; permission to push is
not permission to change the default. See the
[protocol and authorization contract](../../docs/git-on-object-storage.md#default-branch-management).
