- WithLong(text) CmdOption sets long-form help text on commands and groups, displayed indented before the Usage section when --help is invoked - Group() updated to accept ...any (same pattern as Command()) so CmdOptions like WithLong can be passed alongside child nodes - Register(nodes...)/Registered() add a package-level command registry for init()-based optional command inclusion via build tags - Extract printLongText helper (dedup) and parseNodeOpts helper (dedup)
