Research direction

The issue names the clap-based CLI help and links to cargo's styling as a reference, but no file or test is identified. Start by locating the CLI help configuration and inspect how clap currently renders the default style. Done means the default help output uses a readable colour scheme comparable to the stated reference.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

The default style used by the clap crate is very plain with just a few things underlined and bold. It might be more readable if we used more colours.

For example, we could use the same kind of styling cargo does: https://stackoverflow.com/a/79614957
