Summary
tree --jsoncommand scoping to the location of that group command.NOTE: This isn't implementing the
--help --jsonapproach, this just ensures that bare group commands now expose their subcommand tree as structured, machine-readable discovery output by default, instead of silently falling back to human-oriented clap help text that a script or agent can't parse. The discussion to implement--help --jsonis opened as an idea from @jpage-godaddy and can be implemented here or in a separate PR.Test plan
