Research direction

Start with the generated ES helpers reference page and inspect how elastic cli-schema produces it. Trace why scroll-search, bulk-ingest, msearch, and watch are omitted, then regenerate the reference docs and confirm all four sub-commands appear.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Reference docs for ES helpers does not show the sub-commands we would expect to see: scroll-search, bulk-ingest, msearch and watch.

I presume this is due to them being generated incorrectly by elastic cli-schema.
