The CLI's plain output has not had a design pass since v1.22.0. Tables have no header, width or colour; show views print web markup ([cmc](/cmc)) and raw stored timestamps; help crams usage into summaries and flags have no descriptions.
Scope:
- Terminal rendering on the server, selected by
GITBAY_TERMsent by the CLI: tables with a header, state colour, width fitting and relative ages;showviews with rendered markdown/org; a pager in the CLI. - Help: per-flag descriptions and examples in the registry; grouped root, noun and verb layouts.
- Piped output stays tab-separated with no header; timestamps become RFC3339 to the second.
- Audit fixes:
release listpaging and the duplicated tag,notifications device addmessage,build log --followqueued timeout,usageWithcoverage, emptydashboardsections, stalebuild listhelp.
