Add thorough help text to each `./x` subcommand so that running `./x <command> --help` prints a detailed explanation of what the command does, when to use it, and what it runs under the hood. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Move all command definitions, help rendering, and CLI dispatch from the top-level `./x` script into `tools/x/main.ts`. The entrypoint is now a thin wrapper that passes `import.meta.dirname` to `main()`. Also consolidate the two-object pattern (separate functions + registry) into a single `buildCommands()` function, and replace manual ANSI escape codes with `@std/fmt/colors`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Test commands (test-unit, test-node, test-compat, test-spec) now require a filter argument to select which tests to run, and support --list to print all available tests. This makes the commands more explicit and discoverable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Maybe it would be good to name this file tools/x.ts and just have it run the main? The ./x file is not very good for windows and this might be a good backup. Also instructing AI agents to use tools/x.ts would be better so they don't try ./x on Windows.
