Research direction

Start by running the reported gws sheets --help and gws sheets spreadsheets --help commands and trace the CLI help-generation entry point that formats their Usage lines. Done means each command includes the complete command path, such as gws sheets [OPTIONS] <COMMAND> and gws sheets spreadsheets [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>, with tests covering the corrected output.

Description

Context

$ gws --version
gws 0.22.5
This is not an officially supported Google product.

How to reproduce

$ gws sheets --help
Reads and writes Google Sheets.

Usage: gws [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Commands:
  spreadsheets  Operations on the 'spreadsheets' resource

This should already be
Usage: gws sheets [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Then, for gws sheets spreadsheet --help
the output is

$ gws sheets spreadsheets --help
Operations on the 'spreadsheets' resource

Usage: gws spreadsheets [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

❗ gws spreadsheets is wrong.

❗This can confuse humans, it definately did confuse my gemma4-14b (ollama via Hermes Agent).
