# 15. Improve Command Registration So Parser and Dispatcher Cannot Drift ## Summary Unify command parser metadata, handlers, aliases, and error mappings into one registry or add a startup check that prevents parser and dispatcher drift. ## Implementation Steps - Create one command registry that includes command name, aliases, help text, arguments, handler, and expected error mappings. - Build argparse subcommands from the registry. - Dispatch commands through the same registry. - Remove duplicated command declarations from separate parser and app structures. - Add a small validation check that command names are unique and aliases do not collide. ## Public Interface Changes - CLI command names, aliases, arguments, and help text should remain the same. - Internal command registration becomes centralized. ## Test Plan - Test that every registry command appears in parser help. - Test every alias dispatches to the canonical command. - Test duplicate command or alias validation fails fast. - Smoke test all existing commands through parser and dispatcher. ## Assumptions - A unified registry is preferred over only adding a drift-detection test because the current repo already has structured command metadata.
