Implement comprehensive CLI help system with command documentation and usage examples

Purpose: Address the gap where help system shows no content, leaving users without guidance on available commands and their usage Output: Working help command that displays all available CLI commands with descriptions and examples

Implement comprehensive help system src/app/__main__.py Add a comprehensive help system to the CLI by implementing a /help command:

1. **Create help command handler** - Add a function to handle /help or --help:
   - Detect /help, --help, or help commands in the CLI input
   - Display formatted help output using Rich console for better readability
   - Include command descriptions, usage examples, and available options

2. **Document all available commands** - Include help for:
   - /help - Show this help message
   - /session - Display session information and statistics
   - /clear - Clear current conversation and start fresh session
   - /exit or /quit - Exit the CLI application
   - Regular message input - How to send messages to the AI

3. **Format help output professionally** - Use Rich console features:
   - Use panels or tables for organized command display
   - Include syntax highlighting for command examples
   - Add descriptions for each command's purpose and usage
   - Show examples of common command combinations

4. **Integrate with existing CLI** - Ensure help command:
   - Works alongside existing message processing
   - Doesn't interfere with normal conversation flow
   - Is accessible at any point during the session
   - Handles help for specific commands (e.g., /help session)

Gap reason: "Help system shows no content"
Users need guidance on available commands and their usage to effectively use the CLI interface.

# Test help system implementation python -c " import sys sys.path.insert(0, 'src')

Check if help command logic exists

with open('src/app/main.py', 'r') as f: content = f.read()

# Look for help-related patterns
help_patterns = [
    'def.*help',
    '/help',
    '--help',
    'help.*command',
    'Command.*help'
]

found_help = any(pattern in content.lower() for pattern in help_patterns)

if found_help:
    print('✓ Help command implementation found')
else:
    print('✗ Help command implementation missing')
    exit(1)
    
# Check for Rich console usage in help
if 'panel(' in content or 'table(' in content:
    print('✓ Rich formatting for help output')
else:
    print('⚠ Rich formatting for help may be missing')

" CLI now has a comprehensive help system that displays all available commands with descriptions, usage examples, and professional formatting

Test the help system by: 1. Start the CLI application 2. Type /help or --help 3. Verify all commands are listed with descriptions 4. Test specific command help (e.g., /help session) 5. Ensure help output is well-formatted and readable

Expected: Comprehensive help display showing all available CLI commands with descriptions and usage examples

<success_criteria>

• /help command displays all available CLI commands
• Each command has a clear description and usage example
• Help output is professionally formatted using Rich console
• Help is accessible at any point during the CLI session
• Specific command help works (e.g., /help session) </success_criteria>
