Reviewer's GuideAdds a lightweight subcommand path to the CLI so that commands which do not require runtime plugin registration or GPU/GPU-detection setup can bypass that expensive initialization, while keeping existing behavior for GPU-dependent subcommands. File-Level Changes

Hey - I've found 2 issues, and left some high level feedback:
- The
LIGHTWEIGHT_SUBCOMMANDSset duplicates the hard-coded subparser registrations inconfigure_subcommands; consider deriving this set from a single source of truth (e.g., constants next to each parser registration) to avoid drift when commands are added/renamed. - The lightweight detection logic assumes the first remaining token after phase 1 parse is the subcommand; if you expect patterns like
prog --flag value -v list, it may be safer to scanremainingfor the first non-option token instead of indexingremaining[0].

## Overall Comments
- The `LIGHTWEIGHT_SUBCOMMANDS` set duplicates the hard-coded subparser registrations in `configure_subcommands`; consider deriving this set from a single source of truth (e.g., constants next to each parser registration) to avoid drift when commands are added/renamed.
- The lightweight detection logic assumes the first remaining token after phase 1 parse is the subcommand; if you expect patterns like `prog --flag value -v list`, it may be safer to scan `remaining` for the first non-option token instead of indexing `remaining[0]`.

**issue (performance):** Subcommand detection via `remaining[0]` can misclassify options as subcommands
`parse_known_args` groups all unknown tokens in `remaining`, including options, so assuming `remaining[0]` is the subcommand is unsafe. In `ramalama --plugin-opt val list`, you’d get `remaining = ['--plugin-opt', 'val', 'list']`, so `subcommand` becomes `'--plugin-opt'` and `lightweight` stays `False` even if `list` is lightweight. Consider identifying the subcommand as the first token in `remaining` that doesn’t start with `'-'`, or otherwise matching how `argparse` determines subparsers.

# Phase 2: Re-parse the arguments with the subcommands enabled
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** Marking `help` as lightweight may prevent it from seeing runtime-specific subcommands
Because `help` is in `LIGHTWEIGHT_SUBCOMMANDS`, `ramalama help run` will set `lightweight=True` based on the top-level `help` subcommand. In that mode, runtime-registered subcommands (like `run`, `serve`, `bench`) are never registered, so `help` can’t show their usage. If `help` should cover all subcommands (including runtime ones), consider removing it from `LIGHTWEIGHT_SUBCOMMANDS` or special-casing `lightweight` for `help` so that it triggers full registration when needed.

Code Review
This pull request introduces a lightweight parser configuration for specific subcommands to optimize performance by skipping expensive runtime plugin registration and GPU detection. Feedback suggests that including the "help" command in the lightweight list prevents the full command set from being displayed and that the early return logic negatively impacts the subcommand ordering in help outputs.

Including "help" in LIGHTWEIGHT_SUBCOMMANDS causes the ramalama help command to only display lightweight subcommands in its output. This is because the heavyweight commands (like run, serve, sandbox, and daemon) are skipped during parser configuration when lightweight is True. Removing "help" from this set ensures that the help subcommand always triggers a full parser setup and displays all available commands to the user.

Returning early here changes the order of subcommands in the help output (e.g., ramalama --help). Previously, primary commands like run and serve (registered via the runtime plugin) appeared at the top of the subcommands list. With this change, they appear at the bottom after all lightweight commands. To maintain the original order while still benefiting from the optimization, consider wrapping the heavyweight registrations in if not lightweight: blocks at their original positions instead of using an early return.

@bmahabirbu it probably makes more sense to move the gpu detection call into the runtime plugin code path that actually depends on it. I can take a look at this in a follow-up, but might be a good idea to add some basic tests in this PR to ensure it doesn't regress?

No, was planning to look at it once this merges

Subcommands like list, version, pull, rm, etc. don't need runtime plugin registration or GPU detection, but were paying the cost because all subcommand parsers were built together. Detect the subcommand early in phase 1 parsing and skip runtime/sandbox/daemon parser registration for lightweight subcommands, avoiding expensive GPU detection calls.

would it be easier to list the heavyweight subcommands?

@bmahabirbu did you measure how expensive is the GPU detection is? Doesn't seem to be significant. Maybe just on windows where process creation is painfully slow?
