hermes_cli/_parser.py

"""
Top-level argparse construction for the hermes CLI.

Lives in its own module so other modules (e.g. ``relaunch.py``) can
introspect the parser to discover which flags exist without running the
``main`` fn.

Only the top-level parser and the ``chat`` subparser live here. Every other
subparser (model, gateway, sessions, …) is built inline in ``main.py``
because its dispatch is tightly coupled to module-level ``cmd_*`` functions.

# metadata lives in one file.
